[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8642378, member: 7006"] What's the discussion then? As I said further up... the threads could be "I have an issue, what are some solutions?" and then a handful of people give their solutions, the person who had the problem takes them and says "Thanks!" and the thread ends. But if the thread [I]doesn't[/I] end... it's because that's not what people actually want. If the people begin arguing back to the naysayers who show up, it's because they WANT to argue back. They WANT to prove to these people who say their issue isn't an issue that they are wrong. Like what you and I are doing right now. You didn't have to respond to me... you CHOSE to, because you think I am wrong. And I'm responding back now because I think you are wrong. And because I ENJOY these kinds of back-and-forths... I will be happy to respond back to you again should you quote this post at all and retort. :) If someone is going to discuss something... they have to expect and accept that not everyone is going to agree with their take even if they don't like the response or think it's "unhelpful" (as though being "helpful" is actually any sort of requirement, LOL). And if they don't like that... they either probably shouldn't post a thread in the first place OR just not engage with the people who don't. But believing they can make a thread where they decry something in D&D and the only people who also come into the thread are other like-minded people responding with "Yeah! That's right! Preach on!" is rather kind of silly. If you don't want your opinion rebutted... you probably shouldn't post it here on EN World. ;) [/QUOTE]
