He has also used the term "fall in line" to refer to that adoption.Both of these terms are examples of emotive rhetoric and are pejorative in character and do in fact suggest a contempt that likely undermines his ability to objectively participate in the conversation.That being said, to be fair to Micah, I am also not objective in that I tend to assume positive motivations for the game designers. I have been listening to Jeremy Crawford in interviews for well over a decade, as well as Mike Mearls, Rodney Thompson, and others. I find their interviews fascinating and I tend to assume they are communicating honestly. I find life more rewarding when I approach life like that.Also, I do not necessarily think Micah has contempt for people wanting to adopt the revisions. Sometimes people casually use terms such as these without scrutinizing what they may connote."Encourage the good and remain silent about the bad" is, in general, a good approach to online discourse.Love ya all! Enjoy your games and make good friends! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60d.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:"  data-smilie="16"data-shortname=":love:" /></blockquote>
