[QUOTE="jbear, post: 4628969, member: 75065"] I appreciate the sentiment behind th OP's intent to call a truce. I'm fairly new to the boards and have felt my own personal enjoyment of learning 4e dnd attacked and underminded even without actively participating in a discussion-turned-open-war. It was enough just to read them. This is particularly true in the General RPG discussion area. 4e, whatever it's merits and shortcomings, brought me to Enworld and with it I have brought 8 new players into the game. I think the creation of a 4e discussion area, different from the rules discussion and the House Rules, would be a very sensible step to ending the edition wars. I don't know the technical difficulty this entails so I don't know if this is easily done or not. Certainly, when things get over heated in a real life argument, there's nothing like having a bit of personal space to calm down and put things in perspective. This said, I have noticed it is often a select handful of posters that are always in the thick of things, and even when they are not, I find their posts grating at best. How do I Ignore someone? This option would greatly improve my time reading on the Enworld posts (which in general I really enjoy). @the poster who has sold all his dnd books I perhaps don't share you're sentiments so intensely, as no anonymous person's opinions half a world away could ever damage/change/effect my own personal opinions about anyone or anything. However if that is a factor in the death of your enjoyment of a game, then all power to you to take the necessary steps to enjoy RPG again. I mean damn, a guy explains that the sniping effects him to such a degree (probably felt within his own play groups as editions have changed) and people have the cheek to have him on about it! Face it. This sniping really can effect people, and not for anything good. People should think a bit more before they write, just as people should do before they speak. Anyway, that's enough from me. I'll go before I get on my high horse. Would appreciate a quick tip on where to find my 'add to ignore' list. cheers [/QUOTE]
