Funny when people say "Flame away, since apparently it is all some of you
are capable of." while flaming.
I've seen some very intelligent ideas put forth here on this issue that are
not flames. I think the part where people reacted the most to your post is
by suggesting that the people who choose to wear plate are powergamers, not
roleplayers. Well, yes... I will rise to defend my character at this
assertion. You don't know me. Please don't assume and classify me based on
ONE of my ideas.
I believe the one person who mentioned taking the ability to wear plate away
was ASKING your opinion on it. Please read the posts yourself. I somehow
think that "more intelligent conversation" means we agree with you.
As far as ideas go, you are entitled to yours. I am entitled to mine. And
as you posted yours, we're entitled to respond with ours.
And of course, these are MY ideas here... I am quite possibly wrong.
