I jumbled my memories up a bit. Most of what I was remembering was from 2008, when Rel declared
OD&D 4 Me
and the various moderators had at it.
“Rel, you really should know better. This is not a 4E thread. I'm moving it to General.
Really, I don't have time to babysit you.”
“Um, boss, you'll note that I used the number "4" right in the thread title. I thought it was pretty obvious that this was an explanation of my going in a direction
other than 4e and was thus relevant to that forum. As you say, you're pressed for time, so you probably didn't read it that closely. I'll slide it back over where it belongs. No hard feelings.”
“Rel, what do you think you're doing?
This isn't going to go anywhere worthwhile, I'm locking this thread.”
“One might have thought an admin would know how to lock a thread by now. Still it saves me the trouble of unlocking it.
I've got every confidence that our posters here can handle a controversial topic without flying off the handle.”
“Heh.
Someone's jealous that they didn't get to that game with Gygax at GEN CON.”.....
