When was the last time this list had a flame war of any kind,
much less 3e vs. 2e?

As the List Ogre I have rarely ever stepped into a thread
only 2 postings long that were as non-confrontational as this
one just because, maybe, it might turn into a flame war.

My question wasn't even about 3e vs. 2e. Chances are,
if he had responded, I wouldn't even then respond. He just
made a statement that I didn't understand, and I wanted
further clarification. Now, of course I asked becuase it was
a statement about my edition of choice, but it still wasn't
really a 2e vs. 3e thing.

I think a few people flew off the handle before there was
even a problem.

I know of no such agreement. If someone can show me in the
list archives where I agreed to such a thing it might jog my
memory.

I understand that 3e vs. 2e is a sensitive subject for some. But
let's not get carried away. There should be real signs of a
problem before we start grabbing the pitchforks and lighting
the torches.
