[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8627771, member: 6785785"] I know that you already were modded, but I wanted to just respond so that maybe you’ll see these two points and consider them. First, no one’s attempting to not include others. Many, many attempts to summarize the terms and ideas have been made in this thread. Links to the source material have been provided. If you still are unsure about something, you should ask or research it on your own. Don’t blame others for your lack of understanding. Second, I’ve benefitted greatly from my time here discussing these kinds of things. My games have improved and I’ve broadened my tastes. As a result, my players have benefitted from them. And while I can understand that sometimes we can overanalyze things, and that there are times where going with my gut makes sense, that doesn’t mean that these discussions have no place. They’re basically an attempt to understand that gut instinct, the “why does this feel right/wrong” of it. So having benefitted from these discussions, it feels really irksome when others come in and say that they’re useless or harmful. [/QUOTE]
