Or posted anything in any thread here on ENWorld that is even remotely tangential? Besides, industry standard practice for giving contributor credit certainly IS related to this thread. It may not be the OP or the title, but by ENWorld standards, as enforced by the mods, my question certainly is appropriate for this thread.I know you don't like me personally, you have made that clear time and again. But perhaps it would be better if we just did not engage with each other except when we have something positive to add to the other's views.That's one of the most unreasonable assertions I've ever heard. Just because I don't know a subject doesn't mean I can't point out obvious logical fallacies in opinions about a topic. It's one very well documented and esteemed methods for learning a topic critically rather than just taking someone else's opinion as fact or inviolate.Really? I asked over and over again. It wasn't until Desert Gled finally gave an answer that did not have glaring logical flaws in it that I stopped asking. And perhaps you noticed my genuine appreciation to them for doing so? Or do you so color every post I make that you can never even consider I'm as genuine as I say I am?The hypotheticals are there for a simple reason, to point out the flaws in the poor and inadequate answers people had been providing up to the point of Desert's response. They are there because they help illustrate a point. When you ask someone to educate you and they give you answer that has flaws in it, it is aggressive to point out those flaws?Actually you know, in some cultures it is. But in many cultures it is not. Yes there are flaws in both approaches, but I think ENWorld states that open and honest discussion is valued. Not shutting down discussion on a topic because someone doesn't understand the reasoning. As you like to say, you don't have to reply to someone if you don't want to.</blockquote>
