[QUOTE="Bran Blackbyrd, post: 1716236, member: 1710"] Look, I don't want this thread to spiral out of control any more than Piratecat does. Thus, this is the last I have to say you about this. I stated that tattoos, spikes, etc. have been around for a long, long time, and that their inclusion does not prove that Planescape was solely or even mostly based on recent culture. That is not even close to being the same thing as working in a vacuum and, in fact, is the opposite. Sigh. It was not a shot, it was an opinion. In either instance, that would not fit the definition of a strawman. No, but that's not the argument I was referring to. Please follow me... What I was referring to was that you stated that Planescape fans are demanding that the 3E planar books be exclusively Planescape. However, I never said that, and I don't see where anyone else did. Since the statement is false in the first place, it is a [url=http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Straw_man&printable=yes]strawman[/url]. You're allowed to have your opinion, everyone is. What I took issue with is your penchant for insulting people who liked the setting, you making up facts or assuming certain things to be true in order to strengthen your position, and your misrepresentation of what I and other people said. It's all up there in "black & white", so to speak. That's the last I have to say on the issue. Oh and my apologies to Piratecat, some things just get my dander up. [/QUOTE]
