[QUOTE="ericphillips, post: 7671495, member: 82947"] You are right. And you don't have to respond to me if you want me to go away. But until then, I have to refute your points. Never asked for that. I just wanted people to understand that: [LIST] [*]Yes, I was a dick in the way I responded, but I did so out of reaction to something that i mistakenly thought was a slight to Mr. Gygax. [*]I admitted from 2nd post I was wrong, yet everyone wants to lecture me as if I don't understand I was wrong. [*]I think that Merric B jumped the gun by calling me a troll and then lecturing me on Netiquette. Calling someone a troll on the Internet is akin (IMHO) to yelling the N-word in South Central. [/LIST] It is very interesting that even though I have admitted I was a jerk and was wrong in my post, everyone wants to lecture me about it. I realize that. He was correct in my mistake. However he comes across as demeaning. He is the only person who I have problems with. Even though I disagree with you, you are okay. You seem to have a decent personality and you are not talking down to me. Merric talks down to me. It would be nice if Merric B would try to bring an olive branch, but I don't expect it. I totally agree. Just don't call people a troll, unless that is proven, which takes more than one post. The way he called me a troll was very easy to get. He relished that he caught a troll and was giving him his due, esentially rubbing it in my face. Uncool. Very uncool. I came here to see what was up with 5e. Somehow google landed me in this thread. So it was kind of random. I saw the title and thought the thread was about Sage Advice, not realizing its about some rule thing. I thought it was over after I said my peace right away (I do have a right to say I feel slighted). It is y'al who are beating a dead horse. If you continue to lecture me, I will continue to respond. Otherwise you will probably never see me again. I came here to see what people thought of 5e. As WotC has been kind of irresponsible with D&D since Hasbro become involved and Peter Adkinson was basically shooed out the door. I don't think the mistakes of 4e, the messing up of Forgotten Realms, and all the problems with marketing miniatures would have happened if WotC had remained independent. And we might still have a print Dragon and Dungeon magazines. I hit this thread by accident. I don't play D&D anymore. I was pretty much done with them when I discovered games that were not level/class based. It will not affect me because I am not playing 5e. I have a current "Rise of Tiamat" campaign group playing under Savage Worlds. Last time I visited ENWorld was 2009, when I signed up. Maybe I will be back in 6 years when the new edition comes out. Otherwise I mainly post at RPG.net. And I have never been called a troll there. [/QUOTE]
