[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 4092023, member: 2525"] You know, you misquoted what I wrote, clipping out a lot of context including even my name. I don't appreciate that. That is not what I said. You've exaggerated what I said to the extreme. My comment was not about "you have a problem with the new edition". It was nowhere near a claim that it applies to all 4e critics (it was specific to one critique) nor did it apply to even all people making that particular critique. You know guys, you're making this board not fun. If I cannot say something without folks mischaracterizing it to make their point, it just doesn't feel like the EnWorld community I've loved for so many years. You are my peers. You are my friends. We've shared a lot of opinions and even life stories over the years. WHY do you feel this is appropriate behavior? And yeah, I could report this stuff to the mods...but this is one of those issues where the Mod would have to go dig through all of this thread and figure out who said what, and that's asking a lot. It sure would be better if people just voluntarily stopped doing this sort of thing. I gave you the reason why I felt it would be helpful for that particular issue. You cut the part where I gave that reason, and didn't respond to it. So I will let that explanation stand, and if you care to respond to it then fine. And if not...well, it's not like you don't already have your answer, and we can just agree to disagree. For this particular case, I think the psychology would be helpful to both the person involved and the board itself. What you find to be the interesting part of this conversation notwithstanding, some of the rest of us differ in your view of what part is interesting. You discuss the parts you like, others will discuss the parts they like. I disagree, and it's not psychoanalysis (that is a specific thing, and this is clearly not that thing), and gave some reasons I feel are very compelling for doing what I suggested. If you find it insulting, well, I am sorry about that. It was not intended that way. I didn't discuss the motivations of this poster. I was talking about a larger issue. [/QUOTE]
