[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5469302, member: 957"] Did I advocate anything different? People who have been around a long time will know that I argued just as much two years before 4E was announced as I do now. It is fun. The differences are well worth discussing. And frankly, I find debating differences vastly more engaging and entertaining than "me too". Yes, people say stupid stuff on both sides. But I don't see how that makes "beating each other over the head" an appropriate response to what I said. I'll readily admit that I've fired off some ill-thought one liners on occasion. If you go back and look at the times you have said anything at all to me you will first see that they are all one liners. I snap off something stupid in 10 seconds. Which is not remotely to justify it. That is stupid. But you will ALSO see that I walk away from debates very frequently. 99% of the time, when the opposition gets dumb, imo, and is the easiest target for just blasting. I walk away. Yeah, I screw up some and there is no excuse. And it is also understandable that my overall perception gets colored by those hair trigger exceptions. Human nature, that's cool. But I wasn't looking to "beat anyone over the head" when I rules argued pre-4E and I'm not now. [/QUOTE]
