[QUOTE="Aberzanzorax, post: 5468593, member: 64209"] This is fallow wisdom. It seems wise, but it oversimplifies a problem that exists. I don't know if I count as someone you would label an "edition warrior" or not...I certainly don't think I am. In fact, other than a very very few people who I would consider trolls (and I think all of them have been banned or disappeared at this point) I don't see "edition warriors" around anymore...for any edition. For the purposes of my response, I'll assume you're not addressing the very clear "trolls" who pop up in threads without real critique, who are just there to say "x edition sucks." So I will assume that you label me an edition warrior. I want to explain something to you. I am not here to "try[sic] to ruin the online discussion and appreciation of D&D (of all editions) for everyone else" nor do I have "some personal issue." I'm here, on this discussion board, to discuss D&D. I have strong opinions, I share them with some, disagree with others, and meet in the middle with even more. In fact, the more I've discussed D&D here (presenting my own opinions and perspectives) and listened to the perspectives of other "edition warriors", the more I've come to understand the game, and to enjoy the game. I'll specifically thank Pemerton and Hussar and Mercurius (the OP) who have broadened my understanding of the game, and more specifically have expanded my appreciation of 4e. I'm not wallowing, thank you very much, and I'm not a fan of how you label posters who want to discuss editions on these boards "edition warriors" and then go on to (mis)characterize them in such a negative fashion. And the problem that exists? The reason edition wars are going on, to this day? It's not the "edition warriors". It's the schizm. There IS something to be talked about, if there weren't people would have given up on it long ago. [/QUOTE]
