I was "booed" for even showing the 4e Core books

[Fenes]

See, you're making assumptions there.

I, for example, have never played 4E. I plan to try it when my two 3E campaigns are done, in about 6 months. But I have no idea whether I'll like it enough to want to switch from 3E. I'd say it's about 50/50 at this point.

So when you assume I'm calling this behaviour childish because I'm a 4E supported, you're just plain wrong. I'm calling it childish because my very reasonable interpretation (outlined nicely by doctorhook above) was that it was a childish outburst.

Stop trying to read motives into other posters. It's not cool.

Stop trying to read things into other people's actions posters talk about (i.e. "that's throwing a tantrum"). It's not cool.

It's the very attitude of "I am reasonable, my tastes are superiour, this is childish/stupid/whatever" that poisons many threads. Especially if it comes with the double standard of "toilet humor is ok, tearing paper up is not ok".

It's the very attitude of "I am reasonable, my tastes are superiour, this is childish/stupid/whatever" that poisons many threads.

Reasonable discussion never hurts any thread. The reasons why the behaviour is being interpreted as childish have been made clear, by several posters. If you disagree, that's fine, but don't try to argue that others are making rash judgments. The interpretation has been spelled out.

And what tastes are being touted as superior?

Especially if it comes with the double standard of "toilet humor is ok, tearing paper up is not ok".

Bringing things in from other threads is also not cool. If you disagree with me about the red dragon cartoon, feel free to say so in a thread discussing that. But if you can't see that these are two different things, well then there's nothing left to say.
