[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 4627516, member: 59506"] Yet here you are. (Just saying.) So, I read post #51, and I'm still puzzled. I doubt anyone here has any problems with you making a decision based on your preferences and ideas. (At least I don't.) You have every right to that, and no-one can take that away. I think we are all just puzzled by the reasoning. You are under no obligation to explain, but we'll probably keep asking anyways.:p How does not having a place to discuss D&D (because of the edition wars) equate to not playing D&D? They are two very seperate things. Using your reasoning, it seems it would be more logical to play D&D with your group, using your preferred edition (that is if your [I][U]group[/U][/I] likes D&D), and simply ignore forums and boards. I don't know too many people that would have ENWorld up on their computer while playing D&D. So, if playing D&D and talking about D&D on boards are two very seperate things, and one or the other can easily be ignored, the reasoning doesn't seem to make sense. Now I understand you are using a preferred edition/system now (it's just not D&D, which is cool), but if D&D was also one of your preferred edition at one point, why couldn't you just ignore the boards and keep playing it? If you simply got tired of it, well, that makes sense. But giving it up, because people on a board are flaming you for your choice, seems like the best course of action would just be to ignore the board and play-on. [/QUOTE]
