[QUOTE="captainspud, post: 5726194, member: 94481"] Protip: If the point of your post is to say, "I wish WotC would publish something that does [X]", don't phrase it in the hyperbolic terms of "WotC made a huge mistake by not doing [X]". Just because you want something doesn't mean not doing it was a mistake. It's just an additional option you'd like to see. Hyperbolic topic phrasing is immediately going to make system supporters approach you defensively ("Whoa whoa... this is working fine, thank you.") instead of considering your ideas rationally ("Yeah, that's a decent idea, actually"). That gets your thread off on the wrong foot, and turns it into a partisan argument instead of a productive discussion. It's a big contributor to what makes Internet forums such hostile places much of the time. Instead, show deference to the decisions already made (because complaining about them doesn't accomplish anything) and work from that established point-- suggest ways to expand and diverge, instead of merely assigning blame for past (perceived) errors. In summary: Don't attack. Suggest. [IMG]http://www.captainspud.com/stuff/the_more_you_know.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
