[QUOTE="Enforcer, post: 3484916, member: 396"] Batman: one character whose basic premise has remained untouched over the course of seven decades. It has been and will be one of the most popular books for comic readers. Dragon: a magazine collecting a variety of different articles related to gaming. It has changed its content and article lineup several times over the years. It has covered all RPGs and just one. In recent years it has always been a much-liked magazine, but unlike Batman's popularity for comic book readers, Dragon has only been popular for a very small segment of the D&D-playing population. Strawman: an argument that sets up a position that is easy to refute, then attributes that position to the opponent. 1% of D&D gamers isn't popular, no matter how relative you want to make it. It's a niche within a niche, and one that's being replaced with a format that will target a much larger portion of our hobby. If Dragon is popular, relatively speaking, DI will be world-famous, relatively speaking. I guess now that you've defined apology, you'll have to define regret too--as it seems this quote expresses regret (and therefore your definition of an apology) to me. [/QUOTE]
