But I've never understood the "edition wars" ideal or why some people take it personally, as if they have staked their own individual reputations to a particular product.I'm not thrilled by 4E and think it ought to be criticized for weaknesses, though it has both good and very interesting aspects, and I like it better than 3E which I never much cared for or played, but I also thought it had some positive aspects as well.But overall I don't see how criticism of a game should lead to personal attacks. It's just a game. You like it and think it has more positive aspects than weaknesses or you don't and that it has more weaknesses than advantages.But it is still just a game.It isn't curing cancer or saving the world no matter what edition it is. Nothing is gonna catch fire here and tomorrow the sun also rises.So it's just a discussion of game elements, it's not like its a fight for your soul.I don't see getting all exorcised over a game.Such discussions can be interesting yes, but no matter what it is about the game nobody has their life at stake in the balance of an internet argument.So the other guy is not Orcus come to raze your village and rape your women, he's just a guy with a different opinion about a game.</blockquote>
