Pot? There's a Kettle trying to reach you on Line 2...

No, wrong analogy. Neo-Samurai would have to be upholding a delusional double standard for it to be valid.

It’s not stopping you from doing the exact same thing.

Way to shoot down your own argument. This was a playtest review.

Funny, most of the delusion and self-importance I'm hearing is coming from D&D4 fans like you, who hurl derision upon anyone who dares to criticize WotC's new D&D. Personally, I like what I've seen of the game (haven't played it yet), but having people coming online and mudslinging reviewers who don't like the game just gives fans like me a bad name. Kindly cut it out.
