I don't see a rule in here that says I can't make fun of your pizza.

I'm probably guilty of that.

In other news, yes officer, that post right there. No no, that one. Yes.

That is the one with the most unironically egregious, over the top, back breaking, contortionist leap of logic I have every seen put to screen. If its not a parody, it absolutely should be.

I was going to type in the PF2 new books announcement thread. I didn't have much time to this week and I was excited by some of the changes they're pushing forward as they remove the OGL. I wanted to see what others posted in the last few days, discuss some of the changes, etc. Instead, I see yet another multi-page argument around a topic that's mostly off-topic and is mostly adamant projection by individuals of their reality over the reality of everyone else. Our anecdotal experience are important, but they're one in many and they're not sufficient to entrench ourselves and start pushing our reality onto others.

Truth be told, I've had this situation happen several times over the past few months. I don't know what's happening but so many threads which main topic is interesting turn to vinegar much sooner than expected. I expect a forty page long thread to off-topic, a five page one... not really. Browsing ENWorld has not been much fun since the OGL situation and the OD&D material that began pouring in.

I will not use the commune spell to find out who is John Galt.

I know what you mean. The toxicity ebbs and flows all the time, but I haven't seen it this bad since 4th Edition was announced.

I think the worst offenders are the people who are on some kind of crusade to "save D&D" from other people's opinions. Sure, they could write an email directly to Wizards of the Coast, but I guess that's boring. It must be more fun to shout at random strangers on the Internet and hope that the devs see it.

I'll be honest I haven't even looked at much of the playtest packets. I figure I can save up all my outrage and yelling if stuff I don't like is actually in the game in the end.

This is very similar to my approach. I'm too busy running my own ongoing games to do free work for WotC, so I skim the playtest rules but really don't think about them deeply or much.

Really the only wrong way to do it is the way that makes yourself feel superior, at the cost of making someone else feel inferior.

These are opinions, not laws of thermodynamics.
