Yeah, that's definitely an argument for having a Rogue, Beguiler, Spellthief, Ninja, or Cleric in your party. Nothing to do with a Fighter.

Gotta love those straw men that they can't even burn.

The poster itwasntme is saying some of the craziest stuff I had ever heard, well the part I can decipher (I didn't put a lot of skill points in that skill)

Yeah, itwasntme is on my ignore list now. Much like he is for most people in that thread now. :D We kind of got fed up with him.

Here's one of the funny variety: Complete Mage's bad advice. Well, it's funny until Roxlimn gets in on the action.

Sweet Jeebuz! Ah, Francius, you're such a tool.

Also, some more stupid: Why are spellcasters important?

A little gem from Giant in the Playground forums. A sixteen page fighter v. wizard thread with a very misleading title. The real highlight of the thread is Grr, who has taken the Oberoni fallacy to an entirely new level.

My head spins. Would that this were an exercise in lampooning, as being a giant douchebag to people in the name of Christ is all sorts of hilarious. If it's intentional.

Remember, Francius is a person who actually argued that Monks were overpowered in the face of all evidence.

It's especially funny how he didn't react to "sweet zombie Jesus" but he went apeshit over "God."

I wonder if it's lonely on Francius's pedestal.

That is the most retarded off topic arguments that I have seen.

At least it finally got locked. I was beginning to wonder.

Unfortunately, tarkin's right on that one. There an old Sage Ruling / Errata clarifying the design intent as making Heighten nearly worthless. Reviewing my hard drive, I find that I've had houserules on it since at least August of 2004.

Of course, I have no desire to see what exactly caused there to be a 22 page flamefest on the subject
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

I honestly don't get why the mods on the wizard boards aren't much stricter in handing out bannings. Reregistering is free and laying down some draconic rules would quell the flow of retarded arguments like the one Francius is participating in.

He needs to read some of the lost verses of the Bible.

"And yea I say unto you, amongst all that you do, never be a douchebag to people in the name of the Lord. Seriously, you will only tick him - hey, are you guys listening?"
"C'mon Jesus, it's Matthew's birfday! And he says he's going to fulfill the old stories by getting TOASTED!"
"All right, I'm sure that someone will remember to take that down tomorrow."

I like the sound of that. Draconian would probably be good too, but I think the rule should be "be as retarded as Francius and a giant friggin lizard eats you."

Tarkin is often right, but his sense of balance is so bad it makes my physically ill.

According to the Jerusalem Weekly News the whole lot were drunks, the leader included. He freely admittted it, well indirectly. :biggrin:

Luke 7:
33) For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine, and you said, 'He is possessed by a demon.'

34) The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'
