[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8005945, member: 7023840"] Personally, I think that there is a difference between arguing on the internet, and discussing ideas. I think some people enjoy reading about the history of the game, seeing a little effort in research, and appreciate some thought on the subject matter. But I am not obligated to argue with every single person who feels very strongly that I am wrong, am I? Now, if you'll notice the first post made by Umbran was basically, "Hey, you ignored all this, and you're totally wrong." Which is fine, that's a great opinion to have! I can be completely wrong. Thing is, that post was in this, and didn't account for the fact that I had already posted a whole third post that accounted for what he said. Shortly thereafter, he made another post saying, "WIth respect, ..... (you're still totally wrong.)" I mean ... why do I even bother writing with sources. If I put effort into the OP (which I do), then they should speak for themselves. I don't have any strong need to defend it when I read what he wrote because it just wasn't interesting to me - it's already answered in the three posts I have written, so I don't think explaining it again is going to make a difference. His disagreement and dislike of what I wrote is totally fine! I am sure he has a strong opinion on things that he wants to argue! I'm not very interested in arguing, however. If someone wants to discuss something, I'm more amenable. For example, I really enjoy discussing the history of the game, and I've been thinking about the particular changes that occurred re: the multiverse early on. But that's not an invitation to argue about things being "good" or "bad" or about editions or what happened with 4e or 5e or 3e; it's beyond the scope of what I was thinking about. If people want to argue about things being good or bad or what should be, I am sure that there are many people that love arguing. Just not me. :) [/QUOTE]
