Do you have any particular reason to be patronizing here?

Yes. This is the UMPTIENTH time I am trying to get this point across to Helstorm. Unfortunately, he believes that there are only heroic D&D style games out there.

Again, you're being obnoxious. He stated his opinion in order to explain one of the reasons why he prefers HP-type systems. That makes it relevant.
----------------------------

The fact that he doesn't buy something doesn't make it unrealistic, or wrong. If he didn't buy that the planet is round, that still doesn't mean that is relevant to criticising a game that says it is flat.

-------------------------------
And again you make a patronizing response. I realize that you believe Hellstorm made a mistake regarding the rules of the system. However, this could have easily been pointed out in a less obnoxious fashion.
-------------------------------

Helstorm wrote the review we're discussing here. It can be expected that he knows the rules. It was my very point from the beginning that he lacks understanding of both the rules and the conventions of the game.

People will take your points better if you make them in a polite fashion.

Been there, done that. Demonstrably false.
