I don't really see how your opinion of the way I choose to comment is part
of public forum. I'm sure that some people like me fine, but I am not trying
to start a civil war between listers. Nickles, you want to complain about my
tone of type, then you have my E-mail.

What we have here, is someone accusing someone of being cheesy, and the
accused, or alledged cheeser. Hmm, all this cheese is making me hungry.
Alright, what we have here is someone accusing someone of being a munchkin,
and the accused, or alledged munchkin is offended. Offended enough to try to
pass off the accusers opinion as another comment that the munchkin
(alledged, mind you) is not impressed with.

I, and some other people, consider the flying infiltrator supermove to be
munchy. The fact that the rule is legal makes no difference of our
opinions. I think I'll leave this discussion here and now with my final comment.

If the accused or any of his supporters wish to have the final word, you can
go right ahead, you won't hear a peep from me. Any complaints can skip the
list and come straight to me at bprovick_at_...

Any really juicy comments I may post to the list, without telling people who
sent it. We'll all laugh, some people will secretly agree, and no one starts
a flame war. Anyway, no for my final comment

If you are confused about the infiltrator rule, read it, and if you are
still confused, ask someone you trust, like Allen the Q&A guy.

In my opinion the "Flying Infiltrator supermove" is cheap, cheesy, and
munchkinism in its best form. There are rules to back the cheese, so the
munchkinist can easily argue and use his translation legally. I will never
let anyone play that at my table, and I will refuse games at others. That is
my right. It is also the right of the munchkinist to do the same, except he
uses the rule.

Whatever you decide, you decide
