[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7912911, member: 4937"] I'm not looking for hypocrisy. I'm looking for understanding. Supposing the no votes meant, "WotC should not keep the Love Domain as it is.", then that implies to me that the problem goes beyond the labels or fluff given to the domain, and that any domain with any rewording - calling it Beauty or something - but the same mechanics would be objectionable. Do you think that is a fair reading, and if it is, why didn't they vote for renaming it? Or to get to the heart of my curiosity, was anyone voting "no" voting for an objection to the mechanics themselves, and if they were, would they explain why? To show that I by no means have any malice toward these persons, I'll confess that the whole discussion has caused me to do a lot of internal questioning along the lines of, "Given that you have for decades insisted that the charm person spell is criminal and it's usage immoral, why have you not tagged it [Evil] in the mechanics the way you have tagged other spells you have called out in the campaign world as criminal and immoral?" So my sympathy to both sides of this argument is rather higher than you seem to think. [/QUOTE]
