Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dungeonosophy" data-source="post: 8491286" data-attributes="member: 6688049">Hi, firmly defending an idea is not always "defensive."And passion is not always "irrational."While some posters (such as yourself) have been very supportive, and some have been a mix of supportive and snarky (though I appreciate that some of those have eventually voiced that they do see that GAZ10 is egregious, even if they think nothing should or can be done about it), while some have been rather underhanded, such as Zardnaar's repeated dishonesty earlier in the thread, which I'm glad has abated.Now, that's life in the forums, and I can wrangle as well as the next guy/gal.Yet obviously I'm sort of standing out as a "target" since no one has ever presented a detailed analysis of GAZ10 (and the Savage Coast Campaign Book) before.If tons of people had already done the research, and so were obviously already more or less allied with what I shared, my experience of this forum would be different.So, my experience of singularity here does evoke passion.And I will honor the fact that if we were all sitting around in a cozy game room, and we'd just played a fun round of D&D, and then I stood up give a sort of power-point version of the OP which I'd been invited to share to you all in person; and instead of this forum, we were discussing this face to face, the dynamic would be different. I'd still respond sharply to sophistry and shenanigans, but it'd be easier to keep sight of the human vulnerability, even within the repeatedly snarky folks. So, though I'm not sorry for any content I've shared here, I would feel sorrow if I've actually hurt anyone's feelings. (Which I may have.)</blockquote>
