"The game being internally consistent is more important that it being playable" is certainly an opinion. A really bad one. But it's still an opinion.

Oh my god. It's even worse that I had thought when I wrote this. How can they seriously believe all of this nonsense? I'd expect stuff like this on Therpgsite. But not here. I really thought the people on ENWorld were better than this.

Im starting to suspect that folks are dropping jargon in the jargon discussion just so they can explain it now. "Oh, you never heard of this? Well let me explain..."

That wouldn't be horrible, in principle, but I think the thread specifically asking for that would be the better place.

Exactly. I think folks often look for backdoor ways to discuss their favorite topics instead of just making threads themselves. Cant say im innocent.

To be fair, that's based on understanding the thread asking folks not to use jargon, as wanting them to explain their terms. Also, that thread (I gather) involved someone getting kinda called out for their behavior in a way they must have found unsettling, if they don't see themselves as others see them (and most people don't).

I think the problem with the jargon threads is that the first one was a bit unclear in its intentions and then the second post in the thread was little more than a personal attack, and then the thread was changed to be a + thread in some attempt to keep the peace, but I think the damage was done at that point. Honestly, the second post should have been edited... well it was, but just to point out that it was made before the + designation was added.

To actually make an attempt at having a productive conversation, it should have been edited in its entirety. It really cast a mean-spirited vibe onto that thread from the jump.

I don't think any sort of theory crafting in RPG's has ever helped me at the table, which is ironic, because as both an engineer, and later, as certified financial manager, I have a tendency to approach problems from the theory side first.

Someone installed an electrical outlet on a Florida traffic light. ‘Are you kidding?’

“Someone out there decided the traffic light was not functioning to its full ability.”
