http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/articles/ArchonThe article and comments are depressing me more than anything else.
I'm up for starting an "Alexander Macris Ruined Everything" thread.

The article was badly researched and badly arranged... so you can´t take it seriously...
but in the end: maybe people who were dissatisfied with 4e will have another look at it and in the end it may have a positive effect...

I don't know, the vibe I was getting from the comments seemed to be the standard "Yeah, you're right, let's get 'em!!!"
The fact that Alex has responded to each of the, what I'm assuming are Enworlder's posts, with counter attacks that completely ignore the fact that this thread isn't a slam on Mearls (cause Mearls ruined slams!) is what bugged me the most.
I'll keep my fingers crossed either way.

Mike Mearls casts spells as a 10th-level fighter, fights in melee as a 17th-level gnome illusionist and can only be hit by cursed weapons.
I would laugh, but Mike Mearls ruined my sense of humor!
Anyway, I actually responded to this whole thing over on The Escapist. I doubt you've seen it (why would you) but I did get that this thread was a joke. I mean, I found it, read it, and linked to it. I just used it as shorthand for the hatemongering assuming people would "get" it. Instead they just assumed I didn't. In retrospect I wish I had said "the hate has gotten so out of control that EnWorld has a thread satirizing the whole phenomenon" or something like that.
BTW, Nahat, I actually did laugh. Now, please excuse me, as RPG.net has declared a fatwah on me and I have to go into hiding.

Me too.
Why did I treat it as if it was serious?
I have a dry sense of humor, I guess. In the actual interview, my question was a tongue-in-cheek "how does it feel to be the D&D antichrist to so many people?" When I wrote up the essay, I didn't think the humor came through, so I grasped around for something I thought was amusing but still made the point that there was this whole "Mike Mearls/4th edition = bad" meme out there. I mean, there are plenty of actual threads filled with genuine villification of the guy and the game so if I had wanted to use one of those, I could have. But this thread had made me laugh, so that's what I used. I figured people would click through and enjoy it, as compared to clicking through and getting, you know, actual hate.
I certainly didn't mean to cause you guys any rage. But sometimes no matter what you do, it's bad. Mike Mearls ruined my chances of pleasing everyone.
