[QUOTE="happyhermit, post: 7629057, member: 6834463"] Am I the person you are referring to as "He"? If I implied it, I meant to state it more clearly than that. People such as yourself make "edition warring" statements frequently ie; stating that other editions are bad/inferior/poorly designed in one way or another, derogatory comments about the systems and people who like them, etc. Yet, when someone doesn't even attack the edition, just express their displeasure with a mechanic or concept that originated in 4e (not any other edition), you choose to cry "Edition warrior!" and pile on with unpleasant tactics that you don't have to feel bad about because they are sufficiently "other-ed" and identified as "the enemy". 4e fans for example frequently express their distaste for "LFQW", often in a very disrespectful manner, and while some people will disagree it certainly isn't a given that people will scream "Edition warrior!". Tony Vargas (who has been fairly reasonable here) has kinda sought to excuse it as a persecution complex, but I can't say I actually buy that. If a person can't control themselves or see things clearly because of something that happened years ago regarding a game, then (and I REALLY don't mean this as some sort of dig, we all have issues) they should probably try to find the root of the problem, even if it involves getting help.
