Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[RealAlHazred]

That awful tension between wanting a community to discuss D&D with but also hating most people’s D&D opinions.

I feel exactly the same way! Once they got rid of what is termed the "adversarial" DM concept, is it really D&D? I submit the answer is "NO!"

I agree with your opinion but hate it.

I am not saying necessarily disagreeing with the opinions, just hating them.

Come to think of it, I feel the same way about music.

Well,!there’s your problem. Most music genres aren’t also D&D opinions.

Power metal being that one exception.

When shown an anecdote where people self-identified as ignorant, tribal, and arrogant, the number of people who go out of their way to excuse/defend those negative qualities is depressing.

Yes, the individuals in that anecdote fell for a ruse; the whole point is that if they hadn't been so reactionary, and instead been more honest about their level of knowledge, they wouldn't have fallen for it in the first place.

In fact a literal 3 second search would have stopped the whole thing dead in its tracks.

Exactly, your order at a restaurant is wrong "It's treason"

Ignore list, all around. No point talking to brick walls on either side.

The key is to engage with a community you really dislike, then come back to one you only sort of dislike!

Restraining myself so hard here!
