Funny?

If you say so. I find the underhanded jabs and thinly veiled insults to be quite snarky and juvenile. How about we leave the 3e vs. 4e banter where it belongs and not drag it out amongst the rest of the boards?

Just a thot.

Doesn't look like EN2 is running yet, but I've noticed that there are now 30 posts to a page instead of 40. Is this related?

Nah, it's funny. There's no insult to veil, thinly or not, because he's not actually saying anything about 3e vs 4e, he's just parrotting the arguments out of context. Taking comments and putting them in new context is one of the tried and true methods of finding humor.

Although it sure isn't very funny to try to explain all that to you. :\

Another word for parroting is mocking. The fact that something may be humorous (to some) does not magically render it non-insulting.

Edit: For the record, I do see the humor in it, I just also happen to see the insult.

I don't either, and I'm sorry that you do.

But then, if I liked Monopoly, and you liked Parcheesi, I wouldn't see that as an insult either, so I don't see the 3e vs. 4e threads as being insulting per se.

I thought Hairfoot was actually being self-mocking. I laugh at myself all the time. :)
