[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 5022734, member: 31216"] Reading what I wrote after reading everyone's response shows me how I miscommunicated. I wasn't meaning that Ariosto is trying to create an edition war. Rather, it seemed to me, that he was taking things that others have said as edition warring. (Wearing his heart on his sleeve.) It seemed, again, to me, that anything anyone said positive about D&D4 as an insult (a negative) to AD&D1. Basically: Someone says, "D&D4 has this good feature." Ariosto responded with, "I don't want your D&D4. It's not better than AD&D1." And then the whole:He seems to think everyone has this mutually exclusive relationship between editions. If you love one, you must therefore hate the other. With this attitude, it's no wonder that anything positive said about one is taken as a negative about the other. Or anything negative said about one is taken as a postive for the other. Saying, "I like X about D&D4," gets taken as "I hate AD&D1, and you are stupid for liking it." That's a little too sensitive. And "I dislike Y about AD&D1," gets taken as "I hate AD&D1, and you are stupid for liking it." This attitude makes it very difficult to discuss anything about any edition. Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
