[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 1112670, member: 1015"] Wow. I honestly don't know how to respond to that little bit of pychoanalysis, save to say that you have a very active imagination. As for telling you to go play another game, I don't feel that was inappropriate at all. I said it in response to you saying that the class system is an antiquated relic, which is of course a ridiculous claim, because how can a gaming concept be antiquated? It's like saying that billiards is an antiquated game and ping-pong is the future of tabletop sports. Of course, maybe I'm just jaded. Between this forum and RPG.net, I've seen far too many White Wolf/GURPS/Hero fanboys show up and start making claims that classes, levels, HP, etc. are outdated concepts and that anyone who likes them is a "3tard" or a "newb" who hasn't yet reached gaming enlightment and adopted their favorite system. Huh? I've just gone back and read every reply I've posted in this thread, and I can't find any place where I was "putting words into people's mouths". In your previous post, you were acting as though you knew how the gaming community on a whole felt, and didn't provide any information to back up your claims. When I asked you to provide sources and asked you if it was so hard to believe that I prefer D&D over skill-based systems, you just said "No, I find your attitude hard to take" and then you later edited the post to include numerous assumptions and accusations regarding me.
