[QUOTE="billd91, post: 4820191, member: 3400"] Well, you were the one who generalized Paizo's fans (and still are doing so) as disproportionately anti-4e and damaging to Paizo's rep. If that's not somehow accusatory or at the very least negative, I'm not seeing it. There's a lot of bias in the way people have seen various environments around the edition debate. Shemeska and Hunter in Darkness see bad pro-4e behavior on WotC, Dannager doesn't... but then, he's pro 4e and not likely to be the same kind of target. Dannager and you see it at Paizo, but there it's Dannager's edition that falls under the criticism, and others see bad pro-4e behavior there too that Dannager doesn't see. People have left ENWorld because of a perceived pro-4e bias in moderation. The list goes on. Everybody making claims about the environment are generally seeing things through a lens of their own edition being the victim, of their fellow edition fans as being generally reasonable, the other game's fans not. And I think, because of confirmation bias, people particularly tend to miss when their own favorite game's fans are being unreasonable. [/QUOTE]
