[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 7668122, member: 82779"] Yeah, but it's not like it's unheard of for people to say one thing and mean another. Plus, people are notoriously bad at expressing themselves clearly or without being insulting while they're angry. And, it's also relatively common for people who feel hurt to crap on things other people like just they aren't the only ones who feel bad. Short version: Angry/upset people frequently behave like jerks. I wouldn't say "accurate epithets." "Accurate epithets" indicates that the epithets were true instead of acknowledging the subjective quality of many of the things you stated. For example: Saying something is not D&D, regardless of what version of D&D one is talking about, depends on where an individual feels the identity of D&D lies. Someone who feels the identity of D&D requires the vancian casting system will naturally feel that a system without it (or even a system that modifies it) is not D&D. I am sure there are some people who feel that 5e isn't D&D because of the removal of spells scaling by caster level. Second example: I have seen some people complain about social skills in D&D, saying that roleplaying shouldn't require die rolling and should simply be adjudicated by the DM. For those people 3e, 4e, and 5e could be seen as the "death of roleplaying" since you can determine success or failure by simply tossing the dice. [/QUOTE]
