Being Blizzard's contact to the WoW forums has to be a much rougher job than even the craziest stuff the folks at WotC like The Rouse need to put up with. I think this gets at it. For me, D&D isn't a tremendously emotional issue (but it is a very interesting one), but I think for a lot of fans it is.D&D is not inextricably tied to WotC or Hasbro or even books with "Dungeons & Dragons" logos on the cover. It's got its own deal.Eh...I'm not the biggest fan of 4e, but WotC has done a pretty awesome job of giving the game new life after 2e wound to a close. Which gives them bonus brownie points, even if I've got some problems with the direction they're taking currently.For the record, I think associating D&D with WotC and defending all WotC actions is as narrow minded and sycophantic as criticizing WotC at every opportunity and claiming that what they're doing rejects the tradition of the game.There's ample middle ground for rational people to disagree, here. Irrational mania on either extreme is just counter-productive to an actual conversation about the game.</blockquote>
