But I don't let someone being offended stop me from expressing my beliefs.Chad Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084711824869449643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841524611265490126.post-61406866767244373172010-07-14T05:28:26.638-07:002010-07-14T05:28:26.638-07:00Agreed.

Yesterday I posted a rant on my facebook about how displeased I was with WotC's decision to release Tomb of Horrors for 4th edition. I saw it as a slap in the face to longtime fans of D&D. <br /><br />A number of 4th edition fans showed up to state how I was an example of everything that was wrong with the OSR, and just engendering "one true wayism."<br /><br />Note that nowhere did I denigrate anyone's right to enjoy playing 4th edition. But somehow, in some way, my personal distaste for the game (and how WotC has treated the property) said that everyone else had to feel the same way. <br /><br />In the end, since some of these people were fans of my work, I removed the offending status update because I don't want my fans thinking I'm attacking their sensibilities.<br /><br />But it's gotten to the point where we are no longer allowed to express opinions without the fear of someone getting offended because they disagree.<br /><br />And that's just sickening and sad.The Grey Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696474020129732936noreply@blogger.com
