The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Well, then clearly you're wrong and you're a terrible person...

"Objectively wrong" and "objectively terrible:" that's a vital qualifier right there.

On twitter I see the petty criticism about this or that mechanic, plus disingenuous racism from grognard-types. But then I also see a lot of toxic positivity and fandom. The result being that genuine criticism gets drowned out.

That's because you're on Twitter.

Here's a great topic for a poll... How many people on this site prefer to actually play D&D and how many prefer to just argue about it?

How much longer do ya'll think this current wave of 5E negativity and hyper-criticism will last? I appreciate a good speculation thread or two, but all of the constant bickering, complaining, and thread-crapping is wearing on my nerves. Lately, ENWorld isn't very much fun for a 5th Edition fan.

Dude. It hasn't been very much fun to be a fan of anything, anywhere lately.

I hate how right you are about this.

At least I can choose my level of involvement. If things end up going the way I think they're going, I can always just wander off and do something else for the next 18 months or so. This won't be the first edition war I've seen (heck, it won't even be the third.)

Me too. When things get like this, I try to stay away and just focus on doing whatever makes me happy.

Now ain’t that the truth. There’s all sorts of stuff coming out right now that twelve year old me would have set himself in fire in excitement that 50 year old me is just passing onbecause I just can’t stand the conversation surrounding it.

So, if I understand correctly eggheaded doesn't necessarily have a negative connotation, but pedantic does.

They both have negative connotations.

They both have negative connotations.

Looking around it seemed that pedantic was expressly negative while egghead wasn't necessarily. I need to ponder connotation and if that's what I really meant I guess.
