I just don't see why they even bothered with the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide.

[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 6760844, member: 8461"] Incorrect. A blog, even if hosted on a larger site, does not carry the full weight of the publisher's opinion behind it; that's why it's a blog. Likewise, a "published editorial" is, in the manner that you're using it, one that speaks for the editorial board. This is one person's personal opinion, which he's happening to publish in a venue through work. Claiming that it carries the weight of "any other" piece published for the Economist is a flat-out lie. [url]https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/strawman[/url] Specifically the part about misrepresenting your opponent's case and then responding to the misrepresentation, rather than what they posted. The fact that it's a blog is entirely relevant, and pretending that it's not is deliberately disingenuous. Trying to attribute the full weight of that particular institution to what he's written is ridiculous, as it lends his opinion piece a great deal more weight than it would otherwise be entitled to. Apparently you think that just because blogs "can be" professional journalism, that somehow means that this one necessarily is, which is an attitude that wasn't credible even back in 2007, let alone now. Calling it writing "detailed" or "informed" doesn't change the fact that this is one guy saying what he thinks about a particular issue, and nothing more. [/QUOTE]
