Over the years I've checked them all out, sampled a few threads, but never really understood the point. Occasionally I would see some good stuff, but I kept asking myself the same question: Do I really need to use poopy words to talk about my half-elf bard character? And do I really need that so badly that I have to go to a special D&D board where such naughtiness is allowed?But I've found, over the last six months, much better discussion of 4e over at Circvs Maximvs, where Gramma's gone and it's no holds barred. And I think that's directly due to the fact that really, truly stupid stuff gets called out for ridicule, and quickly. I think ENWorld's signature politeness -- normally, a wonderful thing -- can become a detriment during really uncertain periods like the one we're experiencing right now. The politeness allows some low-grade stupidity to perpetuate on and on and on and on. Individually, maybe none of these types of posts rise to bannable or even warnable offenses, but cumulatively it drags the whole discourse down.I think it's a temporary but very unfortunate situation. The only suggestion I would have would be to wield the banhammer earlier and more often. It's not Gramma's way, but I don't know what else could be done.</blockquote>
