[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 4118679, member: 27051"] Cool post, well-put. I do, however, think that there is room in the world for a "switching or not switching" opinion, assuming that such an opinion exists without ill-feeling. From my perspective, for example, 4e has simply failed to capture my interest. As such, I have no real desire to check it out. The same applies for Rifts, Shadowrun, Blue Rose, that Rokugan game and any number of others. I don't have any gripe with those games, but to get me to spend precious hobby/leisure time on them, they need to successfully sell themselves to me. They haven't. Plenty of other games have. End of story. That's where "switching or not switching" comes into it for me. There's no grumblies there, just mild disinterest. So I'd say it's quite possible to be on one side of the fence or the other without drawing lines in the sand, confusing the games we play with who we are, demanding that people pick sides or feeling like we are our own enemies. I do agree, though, that some folks take these things far too seriously, and I salute your attempt to highlight the folly of such a standpoint. Nice one. [/QUOTE]
