I don't care. I'm tired of the edition wars. I'm tired of linux users who act like they're better than me because... why, exactly?  What makes you so special?  Is it pride?  What the hell do you have to be proud of you insignificant freetard?  For doing it the hard way?  Ever heard of "work smarter, not harder"?  Doing it the hard way when there's an easier way is the opposite of intelligence.  And worst of all, I'm tired of people acting like their choice of hobby is some sort of religion.  I bet you 3.5ers would just love to burn Krusty at the stake for the heresy of not following the One Divine Will And The One Divine Way.I can't think of a way to close this. Whatever. To Baator with you <a href="http://www.therpgsite.com/showpost.php?p=82274&postcount=1" target="_blank">hardcore gamers</a>*. Get out of my neighborhood if you're going to <a href="http://www.therpgsite.com/showpost.php?p=25083&postcount=1" target="_blank">crap on the lawn</a>.* as this thread proves, with the new edition, these kinds of people have come back full force.</blockquote>
