But often the response is out of proportion to the slight, real or imagined.Actually, it's a recurring matter in similar threads. Whenever the "is d20 dying" type threads come out, it's the usual suspects with the same arguements and the same attitudes. No matter how courteous, the responses devolve into the standard hidden knowledge claims.Response in kind requires someone to start. If a poster doesn't have the basic respect that they should be polite, then it's bound to lead to flaming. If a publisher/ writer can't make his point without being defensive, then it's probably better that he simply doesn't respond to such threads. How often have you had someone ask why you didn't say something in a thread compared to how often has some "asshat" "provoked" you?I'm not sure how else to make the point. Just because you think the consequences are inconsequential doesn't mean the action is worth taking.</blockquote>
