[QUOTE="N0Man, post: 4837056, member: 64066"] I think you're the first person I've encountered on EnWorld that comes across as condescending, sarcastic and rude in most of their responses to me... Maybe it comes across different than intended, but that's how it seems... You are taking a contradiction from the beginning of the conversation with another statement from the end to make a jab at me, without any consideration of the fact that through the course of this discussion, that I did concede that it may not *always* be evil, However I maintain that it is a chaotic and dishonorable act (of course not all PCs are lawful or honorable), and very likely (as in the context that it was earlier presented) metagaming. So yes, through the process of discussion, I did modify my viewpoint slightly and also helped narrow down in my own mind what about it that bugged me. If discussion doesn't lead to either new ideas, opinions being either changed or at least better understood, then what's the point of it? There's no prize for "winning" a forum debate. Anyway, I think that there are some fundamental differences in the way that my friends have collectively viewed the game worlds than some players here, and I believe some of these differences are behind the disparity of opinions and viewpoints. I actually even brought this thread up with a few of the folks I game with and discussed it with them, and I joked with them that I found out that all of our friends have been playing D&D wrong. ;-) [/QUOTE]
