Doppleganger, how do you think you're doing on that one right now?
You shifters do all kind of look alike.

Not I. Check again old chap. :-)Uhh ... this thread's spinning pretty rapidly out into ka-ka-land ain't it? ;-)That's where you went with a chocolate milk reference? ;)
My reading comprehension gets shot to the wind on 4 hours sleep. Not that I had any reason to be awake.
Anyone else feeling sleepless of late? Perhaps it's a viral meme passing throughout all societies, only no one really notices it to be an epidemic as it surreptitiously cripples us just before the alien invasion... or, perhaps it's only me and I need lullabies and therapy.

I swear by all that is filled with holes that I don't think dopplegangers are inferior to any other race (except for the 100m dash, because that one just rocks). It's just that... well, if they're trying to, they can all look alike.

You know? <:)

I am definitely sleepless. It could be the "Edition Wars" or it could be the fact that my son is one month old and would rather spit up on me at 3 AM than play Pathfinder.

The last time I fell down Jefferson giant stone head I stopped my fall by grabbing onto a wiry bushel growing inside his nose. There was a bird's nest in there and some eggs fell onto my face, yellow and gelatinous. It was if the nose had uncorked mucilaginously on me. I became a mortal tissue. Good times... good times.

Month old son? Oh, you people never sleep. Seriously.
I have a friend who, after having kids, gets so little sleep each night that I don't understand how he's still alive after six years. I've stayed at his house and worked full weeks with him and I can verify that the guy just does not sleep anymore.

OK...
I never said that people shouldn't play what they like, I never said people who play 4e are stupid...
Play whatever makes you stand straighter...I do not like 4e. I do not like WotC.
I do like stating my opinion and position... even when it crosses others' opinions and/or positions.As far as I know, I am allowed to hate what I want to for whatever reasons I want to... no matter public or majority opinion...
Look, this whole 4e debacle has rubbed me the wrong way from day one... rubbed me 'till I am bleeding and sore. I just have to combat the blind, Obama-like followers of that failure of a RPG know as 4E when they regurgitate WotC's propaganda...
If you don't like me or what I have to say... guess what?...
You are not required to!!! Feel free to have a differing opinion!
Just don't tell me I am wrong for having mine.Why shouldn't someone not be allowed to "bash" something they do not like?
Since I abhor 4e, anytime someone states something positive about it, I should be allowed to have it deleted...
Right? You have to be fair...Ridiculous, right?
The problem here doesn't really seem to be these boards, the 4th Edition supporters, or Paizo. It seems to me you have a problem with anger.
That much directed hatred at something is not healthy. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but the fact that you would rather just state which things you hate (which is a very strong word) means that you will provoke the ire of people who feel the need to defend themselves against such hatred. The problem is you don't have a fully-formed opinion, you have a feeling, and you don't support it with arguments. Granted, you are allowed to function this way on the boards, but many people here don't agree with that method. These boards are a pretty intelligent place.
For example, if I say "I HATE PENS! PEOPLE WHO USE PENS IN RPGS ARE DUMB!"
I am expressing an opinion, but based on nothing and backed by strong feelings.
Now, if I say "Pens make it difficult to play RPGs because you end up having a mess of scratches for your hp, and it messes up your computer monitor."
The second statement is still opinion, it is easily refuted by others, but it is much more eloquent and reasonable in its presentation.
I'm not going to say "I told you so" but...
Again, I applaud you!
I swear by all that is filled with holes that I don't think dopplegangers are inferior to any other race (except for the 100m dash, because that one just rocks)
Why thank you, sir... er, madam... I mean, si-- Hey, Cut That OUT!
Hate is a word like any other... why does it bother you?
You do realize that different words have different meanings, right? Are you really saying that all words are the same?
DoppleGangster seems to think that here on Marklar, all words are marklar! Hey Marklar! Those marklars are marklar.
So I'm looking for a nice thread about how we can all get along, and instead I find this one with all its Obama and chocolate milk stuff?!
I'm not sure if Obama has publicly declared which D&D edition he prefers. Not being an American, I'm not sure that I care, unless it turns out that he was Vin Diesel's DM all along.
As for the chocolate milk...can I have some?

If FOX News discovered Obama played D&D they'd crucify us all, labeling us maladjusted and immature occultists. And that's when all 1,482 1/2 of us D&D players (our total count here on Earth) would spring into action and send them SUCH a nasty letter.

Now, if I say "Pens make it...I really don't think you have any business or ability diagnosing mental health problems of people on the internet having never met them and getting your info from what they post.
Are you serious?
Hate is a word like any other... why does it bother you?
Yes, I have a fully informed and well-functioning opinion, you don't think so because I have never given it to you...along with my arguments.
I don't feel I really need to because I have seen the same battles time after time already...So, in conclusion, I wouldn't practice psychology or any other "ology" if I were you.
It is not out of bounds to suggest to someone they might have a problem with anger, just as it is not to approach an alcoholic.
And, since you don't seem to understand hate: it means the most extreme form of aversion to something, it is a strong emotion that should be reserved for strong circumstances. If you truly feel hate for a game, that could be a problem.
OK, you suggested I have a problem with anger. I suggest to you that I do not.
He does not suffer from an anger problem. He enjoys every minute of it!

Luckily, poor reasoning and childishness are easy to identify without resorting to psychobabble.
Instead of political correctness, I recommend growing up. All Paizo asks for is the exercise of the basic social skills possessed by most 12 year olds. If you find that standard too high or too oppressive, I'm sure there are other places on the internet that better fit your need.
Way to be blunt, Sebastian. Although the Bella Sara Charter Superscriber tag has been making it hard to take you too seriously lately...
This thread is coming pretty close to personal attacks. Shaking hands and going off to do something else is probably wise.
