[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5455492, member: 6667746"] I am guessing you have never seen married couples in a vehicle arguing over which road to take to get to the same destination. The problem isn't Rome or where everyone agrees where Rome is even for themselves. The problem will still exist that people will be arguing over the BEST road to take to get to Rome. Do we take the shorter one through the mountain pass that is not paved and can often flood, or the one 10 times as long that is repaired daily with guards along it protecting those traveling it? Different people will take different roads. The only way to remove discussing the roads, would be to forbid discussing the trip taken to get there. Thus removing the ability to discuss gameplay. Person A: I like D&D. Person B: I like D&D too. Person A: Nice chatting with you. That is what a conversation would look like when you remove discussing the roads used to get there because you wouldn't allow discussing what you liked about it. Most, I would say, already have a common ground of liking what they call D&D; the destination Rome, otherwise we wouldn't be in discussions about it. [MENTION=9171]Lalato[/MENTION]: I think it isn't people crapping on an edition per say, but some feel that someone saying "4th edition isn't D&D to me" is devaluing their opinion that it is to them even if not to the speaker. As with the other thread, you just accept it and move on to discuss it with someone who has a view more aligned with your own, if that statement bothers you. Such as the "DM doesn't like it" thread, when you start to debate someone else's feelings on something, you are likely to open yourself up to hearing things you may disagree with, and humans LOVE to argue over a disagreement.
