[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8935562, member: 5142"] Clearstream, the problem is that my original post wasn't about what a RPG is. It was disinterested in that question. But I also felt that you made claims about what I was saying in my post that were untrue or misleading or implied that I was making a judgment value that was actually absent.
