"The design is bad"

"The design is good, actually"

"Pbbbf, nobody actually plays it that way"

Yeah I think I'm done with this one.

It's one of the perennial problems with talking about D&D. You basically can't have conversations about the actual rules of the game because it's so easy to, and so expected that you will house rule things to suit your table.

"Don't like the way it's written, change the rules."

It's solid and true advice. But it makes talking about RPGs incredibly hard.

Not this thread, not even this site...

Ah. So it's not actual conversation you want, you just need to have the last word. Got it.

Not just D&D. That expectation has carried over to so much of the hobby that you get that response about a pretty wide variety of problems discussed in a wide range of games.

Edit: Which I now notice you reference in your last sentence.

Nothing like trying to figure what you could have said in the last 24-48 hours to get someone to block you, when you've only had a handful of posts in that time.

Eh, don't lose any sleep over it. The way I see it: unless you're known for posting hateful rhetoric and/or being a jerk to others, it's very much a "Them" problem.

Well, its not like I can't be a jerk sometimes, I just didn't think I'd done anything like that lately.
