[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6388643, member: 2011"] One man's whistle blower is another man's rabble-rouser. In our "blow everything out of proportion" media driven by journalists who cannot find good stories, so they take any lousy breadcrumb they find, is blaming the authors for your perceived issue really the best strategy? Seriously, we are talking about an issue here where it is not the decision making abilities of the authors, rather it is their morals that are being questioned. What if this minor little personal annoyance of yours becomes a big dot deal because of some moronic blogger and someone loses their job over it? It's happened before with media BS and it'll happen again. It wouldn't be the first negative D&D issue blown way out of proportion. I seriously suspect that this will not happen because we are talking about a nit, but it'll suck if it does happen. In fact, I think I'll get out of this thread now since I want it to die a quick death. Do you really put this on the same level of importance as gas leaking out of someone's car? Really? I put it on the same level of importance as Fred Weasley dying in Harry Potter because in both cases, it's fiction. [/QUOTE]
