Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdrakeh" data-source="post: 4667886" data-attributes="member: 13892">Really?I've never made this assumption (in fact, I was raked over the coals at CM for suggesting that ENWorld was more a "general RPG discussion" forum these days). That said, ENWorld was a dedicated 3x forum for about seven years when many people were busy attacking that edition of D&D as inferior to AD&D. I've never made this assumption, either. Rather, I was referring to posts that promote AD&D as "better than" or "more fun than" all other editions of D&D. Extolling the virtues of one game system at the expense of all others absolutely is an attack. Some people are incapable of extolling the virtues of AD&D without taking a cheap shot at other editions. Again, this is not an assumption that I've made. Denigrating other editions as somehow inferior or less fun than your preferred edition absolutely is indicative of hate. This is not the same thing as merely having a preference for older edtions of a game.Having a preference for a particular game does not require one to treat other games or editions thereof as inferior. Shockingly, perhaps, there are many people who prefer older edtions of games but manage to refrain from starting threads that deliberately denigrate other editions.Yet another assumption I have not made. Discussing other editions is great. Calling other editions inferior or suggesting that they're less fun is not discussion, it's a deliberate attempt to insult others and provoke a heated response. It's more commonly known as "trolling" online. You mean like starting a snarky, thinly veiled, attack about how AD&D is more fun than/superior to all other editons of D&D? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
