Top 10 Reasons Why I Just Don't Care

[Reynard]

Psst. . . Reynard is the guy who started that thread He doesn't see it as an attack because he posted it, which it pretty much par for course. He posts almost nothing but passive/aggressive digs at newer editions of D&D and sees nothing wrong with it because, as he so often reminds us, those edtions of D&D are inferior.

You keep trying to pick a fight but I don't want to fight with you.

I do however think the above quote is a gross mischaracterization of not just my posting habits, but the tone of those posts. Therefore, I reported your post.

Perhaps if you are offended by my opinions or views, you should simply "Ignore" me?

You know, for a thread meant to be humerous that starts with "I'm over it," the OP is a weeee bit snarkier then someone who actually was over it would be, and a weeee bit imbittered for someone who was aiming for "humor." Tagging a post with "humor" doesn't make it funny.

My list as for why I'm over it:
1) I'm the strongest. Seriously, can you even mess with that? Hell no you can't. I'm not "the stronger" or "the mildly powerful," I'm the strongest. This is going to be an important note for the rest of this list.
2) My edition is better then all editions because I play it. If the strongest person plays a game, that makes it the strongest game. This is simple logic!
3) Have I mentioned to you today that I hate everything? Including 4e! Not to it's exclusive, but my god, it's in that list somewhere!
4) Diaglo. Yeah, I'll give you that one.
5) Edition is totally relevant when it comes down to the question of "What edition does Cirno play? Whatever it is, we should totally copy and play it too. Did you know Cirno is the strongest poster without even once starting his own topic? How awesome must he be?!"
6) Did I mention I'm in the middle of developing a mind control ray? Soon! SOON!
7) Oh come on, gnomes aren't that bad. Granted, they aren't anywhere near the majesty of the ice fairy, but still, don't hate on the poor guys.
8) I'm not good at video games :<
9) Is that a challenge?! I'm the strongest! I decide what D&D is!
10) I tell others what to do.

Tagging a post with "humor" doesn't make it funny.

In during people read my post, don't laugh, and OH THE HYPOCRACY!

PS: Before the inevitable OMG TROLL accusations, my post was made in the same light heartedness as the OP. Take that as you will.

But isn't it logical for people who like seafood to complain when all their favorite restaurants stop serving ANY seafood and instead change their menu to all pasta?

You complain to your spouse, and maybe your friends. You don't go to those restaurants and loudly complain to the people sitting at the tables eating. Those people had nothing to do with the restaurant's decision, and they are enjoying their food in peace. You leave them be, and keep your complaint to yourself.

And perhaps you write management a letter. An angry ranting letter about how their restaurant no longer serves real food, and how disappointed you are to see a distinct lack of gnome on the menu.

And what should be the reaction if I'm talking about how delicious hamburgers are, and I get picketed by militaristic vegetarians who want to shut me up because of the foolish idea that my tastes somehow effect theirs?

What do I do if those vegetarians start to succeed?

Why, you post a snarky comeback in the thread, of course. Or start a poll, either way works.

Nah Uh! No one wins OR loses a Role Playing Game!

That's what the losers will tell you, yes.

OK; with ya so far.

But now, how do we take the bits that make each of those editions great and put 'em all together to build the greaterest superer-dupererest edition, an edition so great that we can all agree that it really *is* the greaterest superer-dupererest edition ever?

You seem to have ruled out starting a snarky poll, which sounds like the awesome answer.

I fear that much awesomeness in a single game would cause the universe to instantaneously implode into a singularity.

Probably not worth it, though that would be one awesome nanosecond.
