[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 5723137, member: 6957"] Because Palladium is widely considered to be badly run, badly edited, badly balanced, under financed, and under the control of a micromanaging megalomaniac maybe? Trust me, if there were rolling eye emoticons on this board, I would be using them. I actually meant my post to lampshade #3, but your reply made me reconsider it under a serious light. I actually was planning to footnote that reference, but.... An insult is no less an insult when pointing to a convenient, but irrelevant, article. 'You are ugly and your mama dresses you funny. I am not trolling, here, look at this article about giraffes.' For that matter there can be trolling that [i]is[/i] inoffensive, but when you begin with an offensive premise that you [i]are defending as not a troll before the first reply[/i] it seems pretty obvious that it [i]is[/i] a deliberately offensive premise. That you posted it in the Pathfinder discussion area lends credence to that assumption. If someone had (or has) done so in the 4e area I would expect posters to treat the subject as an attempt at trolling. So, I am treating it in the same manner that I would an attempt at trolling, under the assumption that it is a duck. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
