[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5880406, member: 59506"] One, I didn't say he used inflammatory or dismissive language, I said he came [I]dangerously close[/I]. Please stop trying to put words in my mouth. Second, I have not said I'm outraged at what he said. I'm frustrated that just after defending WotC to those that said this is what they were doing, [COLOR=darkorange][B]Evil_Reverend[/B][/COLOR] comes along and does exactly (or appears to do) what people have been baselessly accusing them of. That's both poor judgement and poor timing by [B][COLOR=darkorange]Evil_Reverend[/COLOR][/B]. He gave those looking for a reason or "proof" to believe that WotC is "against them", exactly what they've been looking for. Right now, I believe all you're seeing in my initial comment is what [B][I]you[/I][/B] want to see in it. Read it. ALL of it. IN CONTEXT. Just as I did with [COLOR=darkorange][B]Evil_Reverend[/B][/COLOR]'s blog post. I do understand that not everyone is going to see the same thing in that blog post that I and others do. And that's okay. You're not going to convince me it isn't there, so you may as well stop trying. I am not going to convince you it is there, and I haven't tried to. However, there was enough that if I saw it (someone that doesn't have a bias for 4E and has not been jumping at shadows as pertains to their statements, but on the contrary has actually been defending them), and others saw it (and have also commented on it), then they have a problem. Even [B][I]appearing [/I][/B]to be making statements similar to the pre-4E build-up is a problem. I believe that anyone who doesn't see the danger of WotC even appearing to return to what previously got them in trouble (specifically: [COLOR=darkorange][B]Evil_Reverend[/B][/COLOR]), is either being purposefully obtuse about this or is just naturally so.
