This thread had nothing to do with older editions of the game -- there wasn't any critcism of those games to defend against initially, yet many people weighed in almost immediately to attack the current edition of D&D by saying that it wasn't worthy of the name. These are the folks I'm talking about. The completely unreasonable folks who seem to contribute little to the forums past screeds about how D&D 3x sucks, isn't worthy of the name, etc. What I wondered is why, if these folks dislike the curent edition of D&D so much, do they post here? There are other communities where discussion of D&D 3x is discouraged or even verboten. Why not post there, instead? Defending the games is different. That's not what happened on this thread (initially). Here, certain people jumped in to say that they call the current edition of D&D "d20 Fantasy" because it's not worthy of the D&D name. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that all old-school fans who post here behave like that -- 'cause they don't. Folks like Akrasia, Calithena, Diaglo, Melan, Treebore, and so on contribute a great deal to ENWorld. Then you have those other folks. The ones who only post bitter screeds about how D&D 3x is teh suXXorz!There is no "big deal" -- I'm just curious why the folks who rarely contribute to the forums past "D&D 3x suXXorz!" post here at all. It simply seems that their time would be better spent at other communities.</blockquote>
