[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2112398, member: 2205"] It only flies in the face of functional discourse in regards to this thread. Other than that, crunch and fluff are extremely useful terms for functional discourse, at least on any online RPG community to which I've ever paid any attention. My dislike and therefore ignorance of The Forge notwithstanding. You are aware, right, that I never made any such claim? I said that the evidence on this thread alone was enough to support the idea that fluff=derogatory is not universally accepted. Other than that, I think the evidence in this thread isn't very convincing of anything else, for the self-selecting you mentioned earlier. But again, I never tried to press the evidence of this thread into supporting what you claim that I did. [/QUOTE]
