[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 3975305, member: 32164"] But the point is that a WotC employee didn't come up with the term. All he did was acknowledge it based on a poster's use of the phrase "margin races" [i]in one paragraph of a post specifically asking about avariel and aquatic elves.[/i] He then used it in one paragraph of his own post, again specifically mentioning avariel and aquatic elves. IMO, anybody who can't understand this based on what was asked and what Rich wrote is just looking for a reason to be offended. Rich absolutely did NOT say "marginal races like gnomes" and he didn't even coin the stupid term (other than to correct its grammar). Now, I know a lot of people are looking for reasons to be offended. But just because WotC has decided gnomes aren't popular enough to be in the [i]first[/i] PHB doesn't mean they consider them a "marginal race." But hey, whatever, think what you want. I was just pointing out the logical result of looking at it from the standpoint of a post that asked a question and one that answered it. Tell me - would you view it differently if Rich had numbered his paragraphs 1, 2, 3? [/QUOTE]
