We were offended because the review appeared to be implying that the designers of WFRP2 had plagerised D&D3, and that the author of the review himself should therefore have much of the credit for the creation of WFRP2.As an example: Imagine I wrote a post where I said "XXX is a liar", a bunch of his friends got very upset and disputed the truth, and then I started going around saying "I can't understand why they are saying that it doesn't matter that XXX is a liar?" (Instead of saying something "non-twisted" like: "I don't understand why they are so upset about me saying that XXX is a liar and so adamant that he isn't").if you ask a genuine question - someone can give you an answer. But ask a question that already contains your answer... well that's not really debating. Finally, did your wife read any of the *four* separate posts where I explained why I was offended? I both understand and accept that someone who has read those posts might disagree with my reasoning and my conclusions, but they should understand my position because I think I explained it pretty clearly; so if someone claims to have read those posts and still not understand why I'm offended... well I begin to believe that they mean it not in the logical sense of not understanding my logic, but in a more general insulting sense.Well firstly, you were arguing with us. You were constantly criticising us and casting aspertions about our motivations.Secondly, I was always bought up to believe that if you ask a direct question that is addressed to everyone present (i.e. you're not talking to a specific person), and one of the people present takes the time to try and answer your question, that you should listen to what they're saying - because you're the one that asked them to say it. To ignore them just seems plain damn rude to me.But I guess that's something else we're going to have to disagree on.</blockquote>
