[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7628767"] Excuse me, but I'm not the one behaving outrageously here. Re-read the thread. In a fairly long response to the OP I had one sentence saying "I still hate the Warlord", and then went on to talk about other stuff. I got some pushback on that, and on 3rd or 4th post reiterated my reasons. I may not be very generous toward the Warlord, but I'm not attacking any poster. I'm criticizing a character concept in a game. Not even the mechanics, just the most common (that I see) form of the fluff. And yet in return I get told I'm being selfish, I'm imposing my playstyle, I'm wrong, I'm absurd, I'm a troll, I'm a jerk, I'm a dick, I rage-quit. I hide behind internet anonymity. (On the other hand, yes of course I don't want some of you people knowing who I am. Based on the totally irrational, even psychotic, reactions I'm getting, I would be genuinely concerned about some of you harassing me and my family in real life.) And now I'm a "sock puppet" and a liar. Yes, I've posted 4,200 times on Enworld for the purpose of trolling warlord fans. Garthanos is behaving despicably: putting me on ignore and then denigrating me behind my back. If he wants to ignore me he should ignore me. One again, a reminder: I'm criticizing a [I]concept in RPG design[/I]. If there's been a theme to my posting, it's that I'm vehemently opposed to any sort of imposition of thoughts/emotions/actions on my characters. Maybe I'm too fanatical on that position. Like Emerikol is about "disassociative mechanics" or Saelorn is about using out-of-character knowledge or Tony is about the need for non-magical abilities. That's my thing, and I'm 100% consistent about it (or at least I think I am) and I adamantly oppose anything that starts to infringe on it. If that gets you so angry you have to make personal attacks to combat it, you need help. FFS. EDIT: @[I][B][U][URL="https://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=1"]Morrus[/URL][/U][/B][/I]. I'm sorry for "going there" in this thread. I just shouldn't have even said the world warlord. I will try to just stay away from this topic completely from now on. It irks me that I have to be silent on something I care about just because some people just can't handle it, but I will try to do so. [/QUOTE]
