[QUOTE="Noctem, post: 6789096, member: 6801315"] I didn't say you were calling someone a rules lawyer, I said that you're using the term in a derogatory way and you should stop. Earlier you said nobody likes a rules lawyer in response to someone else. Now you're saying that I'm using a rules lawyer approach. Again, I think you should just stop using the term altogether since it doesn't serve anyone to use it in a derogatory way like you're doing to dismiss the statements of other people. And there's a big difference between saying rules lawyer the way you are and pointing out that holding away someone's fist in a grapple is fluff. One doesn't help the conversation and the other is the correct term to use for something which is not part of the rules. Holding back a fist in a grapple is not in the rules. That's fluff. You're using fluff to justify making changes to how the rules work. Considering the OP wanted solid rules as a response and the way you're labeling the people trying to give the OP what he wants, I don't think I'm off the mark in general here. You're also now shifting the goalposts, no one here has stated that what they've said must be true in every scenario conceivable. So even your custom definition of what a rules lawyer is which you just explained doesn't even apply to the people in this discussion. [/QUOTE]
