[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8946652, member: 6778210"] Ah, appreciated. And I'm not sure: I've seen so many threads get dragged completely down and off-topic by people who were less interested in discussing what we were talking about and more about some tangent on it that the cost-benefit is positive to me. It's definitely a cost, though. If it was the case that any sort of push would just get them to take it off the market in the first place, [I]then it wouldn't be up right now[/I] because I'm fairly sure it didn't originally have the boilerplate on it. This whole idea is premised on an action that we've never actually seen them take and thus I have doubts that this defense is anything but trying to create a fear that Wizards will just run away with their stuff if anyone says something mean to them. No, my definition of dogpiling is people piling into a topic to attack an OP without actually engaging with the topic. There are still people thinking that the OP wants to rewrite or censor the book, [I]which is demonstrably false [/I]but still gets traction. You call that "a lot of people disagree" and I call that "people reacting without reading". [USER=177]@Umbran[/USER] has already covered what I thought: your comments do not come off as unrelated to the original topic but literally in relation to the topic as a list of reasons why you cannot support it. Combined with the fact that you originally said that you did not read it but were going off what other people said about it (posted [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/why-a-petition-stop-hasbros-hurtful-content-is-a-bad-idea.695813/post-8945322']here[/URL]) and I think my read on it was ultimately very reasonable. If it is indeed the case that these were [I]non sequiturs[/I], then I think it's just best we stop this conversation. At this point, I do not know which of your comments are meant to relate to the topic and which ones aren't, and I don't intend to go through and individually litigate them all so I can be sure of their intent and meaning. The funny thing here is that no one has really mentioned the OGL part much, it's largely all about starting a "+" thread on it. That is the vast majority of the discourse here. [/QUOTE]
