[Torg] Any ever thought ofor triedreversing/altering Torg'sMetapower vs Advancement struggle?

[Morgan Nash]

I'm going to say something. I really don't want to because I've tried to
stay out of these arguments for my own sanity but I feel I have to.

Benn, I agree that Travis can be pretty darn aggressive in his language
sometimes but not everything you quoted above is an attack. However, I have
actually had to stop replying to any discussions on this group that you
start because of your own attitude towards those that disagree with you.
Your words are frequently dismissive, high-handed and inflammatory and you
regularly state opinion as fact.

Until you (and others) learn to phrase enquiries in a manner that actually
invites polite discussion rather than seeming to merely seek affirmation of
decisions that have already been made, people will get annoyed. Moderate
your own words, gentlemen, and others will do the same. The alternative, as
I have done, is that readers will simply not reply to requests for input as
nobody wants to be constantly brow-beaten.
