[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8970402, member: 7006"] There was no "argument". Micah insulted the designers of Dungeons & Dragons by calling them virtually not designers at all (the designers of the game they [I]supposedly[/I] want to be good so that they can play it, because apparently just playing [I]Level Up[/I] isn't enough for them). And then they tried to claim the high road by saying someone else's snark wasn't called for. And I pointed out the irony in that. So there was no "counter-argument" to be made because it wasn't an argument in the first place. I find it funny how a lot of the posters here feel completely free to call all the designers and workers on D&D and WotC lazy and untalented and expect not a single bit of blowback on that... and yet when they feel slighted there's an expectation that the rest of us should just nod and say "Yeah, poor you"? Nope. Sorry. And pointing out the irony in that belief is not a "personal attack". I mean at the end of the day it's not that hard. "Treat others as you yourself would like to be treated" still applies even if the person being insulted isn't around to see the insult. Because the rest of us are and we still have to read it. And just because someone is doing something you disagree with, it doesn't mean they are talentless or a shill or any other negative connotation you might think of. It just means they disagree [I]with you[/I] on what is important for the game of Dungeons & Dragons. And that's not a fault-- that's just personal opinion. [/QUOTE]
