[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5434157, member: 6667746"] Well on most forums you discuss the topic the poster is making, not the poster themselves. So the poster is out of bounds, lest it be one is making a personal attack. You could have approached you disagreement with the video interpretation in many other ways. Would it be right for me to say, "If you cannot see how that video is presented in an insulting manner, then I think you take/live life too much like a joke"? No, and thus why I didn't say such and didn't come up with a good retort because I wasn't trying to insult you with the example, rather just trying to come up with an example in opposition to your remark, that is also off-topic and could benefit discussion in no way, unless we were talking in general in which discussing the psychology of marketing. But you used "you" meaning me personally in your comment, so not easily seen as you making a general examination of psychology of marketing. I hope that helps understand the difference I am talking about, and CAN see where it may not be insulting to you, but you should also see where the video could, and rightly so, be insulting to others even if it does not insult you. Also that kind of remark, HAS caused fragmentation of the D&D community. Check the WotC forums from around the time of the announcement of 4th and that video came out and you will see two camps, those who just thought it was funny, and those who found it insulting.
