[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 4523141, member: 65637"] But you're clinging to the buzzword and ignoring the three paragraph post. Buzzwords don't exist because we nefariously want to use them to drive other people to extremes, buzzwords exist because human beings like to keep things simple. That buzzword is there for the "tl;dr" people (though quite frankly I'd perfer they simply be booted off the internet entirely, personally). it's a way to start your point of view: "I think 4e is mostly like a tactical wargame. This is because blah blah blah." Buzzwords are only bad if the poster ONLY uses buzzwords, or if the other party only pays attention to them. Again, the problem is that the use of buzzwords isn't a bad thing unless, as I stated earlier, it's part of an angry tirade or the person is purposefully using them to be insulting. You can't ignore a person's opinion just because he used a buzzword you dislike. Well, you CAN, but it's a bad thing to do. One person's belittling is another's honest perspective. See...well, the posts right above yours, where one poster adamantly refuses to believe you can find something wrong with 4e without there being some ulterior or nefarious (I like this word) motive behind it. Good lord, this is the attitude of a [B]cult member[/B], not a hobbiest. [/QUOTE]
