[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 3629515, member: 307"] A lot of people like [i]Farscape[/i]. A lot of others don't. Those that want to offend people who like [i]Farscape[/i] say "oh, it's that show with the muppets". Using your argument, no one should ever get annoyed that the show they like is dismissed by derisively calling it "that show with the muppets". Only the prop designers should feel slighted. But the [i]intent[/i] is to be insulting, and so it is. Similarly, when someone talks about 3.5, people who [i]intend[/i] to be insulting say "oh, that version with the pokemounts", and dismiss the edition in a derisive manner and, by implication, dismiss the opinions of those who like it. Once you understand this, then you will understand why these are entirely useless terms. Saying "no magic Walmarts" is contentless for the most part, and basically says little more than "anyone who plays different from me is a munchkin". [/QUOTE]
