But where's the Jim gone?

Production Company - We're emailing you because you supported us in the past. Please support our Kickstarter for the return of our series, after almost 10 years!

How I would like to respond - You clearly forgot that I had to threaten to drive the 20 minutes from my house, to that of your producer, before I ever received the fulfillment of perks from your last Kickstarter, 2+ years late.

EDIT - And by "2+ years late" I mean 2+ years after the 1 year late reported release date.

before posting something you may want to look into it, since it's very easy to search given the topic.

Oh, hey, this argument that started a couple of years ago? We obviously need some more of it.

Well, there goes any interest I might have had in the thread.

Its amazing how many ways folks discover to edition war without being blatant about it.

So I've been insanely busy recently, which is likely to continue. That said, I wanted to briefly drop in and make a comment on this.

I often think that there are people that, for whatever reason, want to relitigate past wars. And for that reason, they will bring up current topics that will inevitably turn into those past topics.

However, I would also mention the following anecdote. I was not present for the past edition war. So I remember that when I started talking about gaming again on-line, I would make sincere points about things I wanted to discuss, not knowing that those topics had become some kind of third rail for past edition wars. After a period of time, of course, I gradually learned that certain issues were so fraught, they were usually not worth discussing, since they inevitably served as some kind of litmus test about past editions. But I didn't come in with that knowledge!

In a way, it's two sides of the same coin. Yes, some people are looking to stir the pot. But other people are always looking at the pot, hoping that someone puts a new ingredient in there that they can then say, "HA! NOW WE MUST STIR IT!"

All I know is I can see it from a mile away. Folks are surprisingly unaware that telling folks that they play in a stupid wrong way, even though they reiterate they are perfectly welcome to do so, doesnt go over well.

Lately, I am just making well though out and reasonable posts. They get a couple likes but zero replies. Am I doing something right or something wrong?

I know right? I'd be the least influential influencer.
