Oh, I feel ya. The Topic? It sucks. And yet, They keep bringing up The Topic! It's like whatever you post, They read what you write, and then turn it into what they want to talk about, which is always The Topic!
I guess when all you have is a hammer, every comment looks like The Topic.
On the plus side, I did once write a post with the titled The DM Is Not a Player, and Hot Topic is Not Punk Rock, so I guess I deserve all The Topic calumny that comes my way. How was I to know the The Topic includes Hot Topic????
