Warning: I'm nuking Edition Wars threads

[Carnifex]

Edition wars are about as useful as +5 forks of eating.

Well, if you eat institution (ie school/colleg/etc.) meals they have a tendency of sometimes trying to escape the plate, so a +5 fork would be pretty useful for making sure your food really is dead

 

[EricNoah]

Nah, no sticky needed. Each of the closed threads has a link leading here if people are curious or whatever.

 

[Sniktch]

Yeah, I think this is a good move, Eric. Part of the reason I stuck at ENWorld was the 'friendly' nature of the boards, and while I can find an argument amusing to a certain point, its probably best if everyone just agrees to disagree and lets the matter drop.

 

[maddman75]

Good move Eric. Everyone needs to calm down a bit. I remember a Dragon magazine editorial that said something to the effect 'if you can pretend to be a dwarven warrior walking into an undead lord's castle bent on his destruction, or a 200 year old vampire trying to hold onto the last shreds of humanity you surely have the imagination for some more games in you.'

Pretending to have the one true system is pointless. And edition flames are even more pointless. Its me and my friends, drinking soda and slaying orcs, making jokes and becoming legends. The publish date or exact license doesn't really matter.

flame wars

way to go Eric. one of the reasons that I really like En World is the general lack of this type of behavior (flameing) the standard is higher here as it should be elseware. keep up the good work.

 

[diaglo]

I agree.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Amen, brother.

 

[Flexor the Mighty!]

This sucks. All the good threads are closed down by the time I find them.

 

[Col_Pladoh]

Yuppers, these boards are special because of their general cordiality. My appologies to all if I crossed the line. Thank goodness I've never made any claims to perfection though, eh?

Cheers,
Gary

Greyhawk thread

I just read what was posted in the last few days....I understand why it was closed.
I must appologize, for in some small way I guess I started that argument on that thread.

Gary I am glad to see you consider your body of work great. I agree it is impressive and you are experienced in what you write. I know of people who are more prolific writers and have been writing for 50+ years. Those being in the magic community not the Gaming community: Ed Marlo and Jon Racherbaumer ....also look into what Harry Lorraine has published and Richard Kaufman. If you would like know more, e-mail me for the names.

I am always willing to discuss my hobbies at any time.

[moderator snip]

For the most part I enjoyed the discussion as entertainment. This is a game guys......Reality check. [another moderator snip]

I humbly appologize and will now go back to lurking rather than posting...
Take care guys,
Darius
