It puts forward the idea that banana popsicles are, by their essential nature, repellent, thereby implicitly suggesting that anyone who likes them is somehow wrong. “Banana popsicles disgust me” is a little better, but I statements are always preferable when it comes to discussing contentious issues.Such a player would be significantly overreacting to the situation.It wasn’t.No game can be designed to accommodate all players, nor should it be. It is not the game’s fault that the players it didn’t happen to accommodate took it so intensely personally.And it’s pretty insulting when a thing you love is treated as a tale of caution by people who never lacked the option not to play it, and whose campaign of hate against it successfully resulted in support for it being withdrawn.Ok, great? I don’t really care who is or isn’t a 4e detractor or a 4e fan, or whatever else. It’s still extremely rude to trash on something someone else genuinely enjoys.</blockquote>
