Now are you including Pathfinder into this?
Also I am afraid if certain...groups of our nation see this...this maybe YD most sucessful petion.
So I'll ask you politly please don't make petions that can actualy harm people...that others may use to attack things. Sure I get your jokes ones are kinda funny but this could be used by the idiots out there.
I'm curious John, what makes you think he intends these all as jokes?
Benefit of doubt.

Bigotry harms people and violates the legal obligations of any company perpetuating them. This petition merely requires the enforcement of the law. Conformity to the law is good for you - not bad.

D&D never stated that humans could not be outside those limits, or that everything that measured differently was necessarily a monster. It simply stated that average humans measured between those numbers and that monsters/other races measured between those other numbers. Saying that a gnomes measures about the same as Warwick Davis doesn't also say that Warwick Davis is a gnome.
Take off your bigotry goggles, Dingo! You are seeing it where there is none.

The only problem is that D&D violates no law by stating limitations on height in a game of imagination set in a fictional universe. Nor does it harm anyone.
Your petition, on the other hand, has the possibility to do serious economic harm to a number of people, plus depriving countless other of a hobby they find fun.
You're lucky that you're a batshit insane internet troll. If Hasbro took you seriously and sent its lawyers to deal with you, you could be in a world of hurt for reckless and defamatory actions like this.

Yeah, but......uh.....how does that harm your reputation?
Like......does this mean that nobody's ever going to take you seriously again?
Rubbish. Defamatory Statement: 'you're a b%##!~% insane internet troll'
Bigotry is a crime.
Defamatory, possibly. But truth is an absolute defense; if I simply admitted that it was a defamatory statement, made with intent to defame, but justified it because you were an internet troll, and b%##!~% insane to boot, your case would collapse.
This post alone absolves me.
If you think bigotry in D&D is a crime,.... name a single law that it violates. Be specific now. I'm no lawyer, but I'm fairly confident that there is not a single Federal law in the United States that outlaws "bigotry." (The word appears only once in the United States Code: Title 36 U.S.C. Section 110103 and in context has nothing to do with crime.) I'm not going to look at every state code, but I'll content myself by observing that the term appears exactly three times in the Revised Code of Washington, and again does not establish bigotry as a crime.
So does this mean that you're also pig-ignorant, or does it mean that you have no language skills?

Well it is defamatory to b%##!~% insane internet trolls out there.

If you're actually batshit insane, is it really trolling?

Bigotry is a crime.
It's not defamatory if it's a provable fact. And you keep on supplying evidence.
But I do find it amusing that people are shocked that you put forth a ridiculous theory/petition. I wonder if these people are also shocked to see that bright yellow thing in the sky every morning.

It's not really trolling until you are.
The more you all comment on his threads, the more attention he gets and the more he posts. Just ignore his threads and he'll go the way of the dinosaurs.
I dunno if you noticed this, but the most successful of his petitions got 3 signatures. It did not make him give up.

Frankly, I'd think that a petition to 'adjust Yellowdingo's level of medication' would get more votes than all of his petitions combined.

I've always considered trolling to be a specific and deliberate act.
Trolling: saying all women in the world should move to the USA, just to get a rise out of people.
batshit insane: saying all women in the world should move to the USA, because you think it will solve the world's problems.

You would be surprised how often I am shocked by the fact that bright yellow thing in the sky is already up.

The Dingo has been posting bizarre crap and outlandish petitions since before most of you started playing, much less registered for accounts (except for the leprechaun, of course). YD a part of the Boards that we used to know and love. I'd be sad to see him stop.
I've been on this board just as long
Your first post: 3/20/2008
Yellowdingo's: 3/5/2007My first post: 9/24/2006.
Of course, Heathansson has me beat by 6 months, so we are noobs compared to ol' gran-pappy.
What's your favorite thing about old age: corns, hemorrhoids, or presbyopia?

The fact that I can sometimes spend an hour at a time not thinking about women. I could never have written Kirthfinder when I was in my '20s.
What the hell do you think about then?

b%%+*$% insane: saying all women in the world should move to the USA, because you think it will solve the world's problems.
Lets see: Lack of women in third world resulting in extinction of third world cultures and drop off in population. Women get improved lifestyle and increased opportunity for education.
Fixes half the problem.
What the hell do you think about then?
What? Oh, nothing.
Danny DeMarco: "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?!!!"
Nick Escalante: (Pauses) "I was thinking about Venice."

Stupid laws are stupid. That's all I have to say about that.
Can I be the old uncle who leers lewdly at the young newcomers?
Yes! But Heathy still has you beat.
