For the purposes of full disclosure: In my real life, I am a roleplaying game freelance writer, and thus I am not bias-free with regard to my reportage on RPG-related issues.
For the delectation of the list, an oldie but a goodie.
The first thing you must keep in mind is this: RPG.net is a website devoted to the fannish obsessions of assorted gamer geeks (there are fora on the site for video games and miniatures war-gaming and fantasy/sci-fi fiction and conversations tangentially related thereto, etc.), but it mostly revolves around the interests of table top, pen-and-paper-and-dice roleplayers. And gamer geeks are some of the wankiest fen to walk the Earth, whether or not they believe it. They will wank about anything. Anything. They wank about White Wolf Game Studios using feminine pronouns in its books, for fuck’s sake, and when a new edition of a beloved game comes out? Oh, yes, that’s the sort of thing that brings all the wankers (in the pejorative sense) to the yard.
The second thing you must keep in mind is this: the regular denizens of RPG.net’s Table Top Open Forum do not believe themselves to have been raised by hyenas. They were but they do not believe it. They think Tangency is the most uncivilized forum on the site. Paradoxically, they also pride themselves on flinging (lawn) darts at the egos of the roleplaying game company flacks who occasionally show up on TT Open to make announcements and defend the besmirched honor of their games.
This is an example of one such wankapalooza.
( Here there be herds of teal deer with sea anemone wangs )
And the Circle of Wank was complete. Also rather sticky.
