[QUOTE="Malmuria, post: 8451769, member: 7030755"] This has not been the context of any recent posts in response to [USER=177]@Umbran[/USER]. The most proximate context is the example of "sandbox" vs "railroad," which could describes styles of play within a 5e game. Using that example, if someone comes and says they run a "sandbox" game, I would try to respect their own description and experience (it is, after all, their game), even if parts of their description struck me as not a sandbox by my definition. Did you interpret my response to you above as very negative? That was not the intent. But even so, this seems to me to be an escalation of hostility. What do you hope to get out of a conversation when you describe the other person's statements as "mush," "bunk" or as merely a "morass of large words used to disguise [something]"? This small exchange demonstrates the thing this thread is trying to talk about, the way here that casual conversation turns into scathing commentary on my intellectual capability and writing style. smh.
