[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 5547970, member: 6668292"] If that's the extent of the reasoning required, then the original statement of "any rule change should have a valid reason other than "I don't think X should work that way" or "I don't like how Y is described"" is rather pointless. I mean, I'm sure there's [I]some[/I] reasoning beyond "I dislike X" when changing something literally every time it's changed. There's a reason you're changing the rule to something else, such as "I like this rule more." That goes beyond the original statement in question, which is limited to "I dislike this current rule." The addition of "I prefer this change" is beyond that, but it is true of the change, or it would not be made. As such, I assumed that it was discounted from your statement. If that isn't the case -since the reasoning you quoted me for was essentially "I like this change more"- then your original statement seems pointless to me. I'm not trying to argue semantics here. But saying "well, anything outside of "I dislike it" counts as another reason, even if the new reason is "I like this more"" seems kind of... obvious. Maybe that's not what you're saying, but it certainly is the impression I'm getting. I could certainly be totally off base, though, and if so, go ahead and clarify it for me, if you don't mind. I guess I just don't understand how "I like this change more" is ever separated from "I dislike this rule" and I'm curious how you think it might be. Side note: Just to be clear, I do understand that you're trying to single out that I made a decision based on group enjoyment rather than on my personal preference. Your original quote, however, does not reference that whatsoever. If the original quote was also intended to imply that "you should have a reason beyond "I dislike this" and should include "and everyone likes this" then I think I understand. I just didn't detect that in the original quote. If, however, that's the case and I somehow missed it, then I think we're on the same page :) [/QUOTE]
