"Extending your opinion to everyone" means saying that they have the same
opinion as you do ... not just saying what your opinion is ... that is all I
said or meant to say. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and to
expressing it and I will defend your right to be a perfect A**hole, if that is
what you want to be, ... my ONLY concern was your saying it was the opinion of
others ... 'extending' it to them.

Please take a deep breath ... exhale slowly ... let all the tension drain from
your body ...

Well, I am sure they will speak out, once they have the game in hand and can
comment more specifically, although they will likely do it on the WH40K lists
...

See my comment above. Please do not leap to the conlcusion that I am flaming
you or your opinion. Maybe reading the post through all the way would have
given you a chance to think clearly.

And you should do what you want to do, but leave others to make their own
choices and form their own opinions. And, I hope your comments about the new
game, once you play it, will be more specific and mature than those you
expressed here!

Read a lot and spoke with some who have seen portions of it. I am reserving
my opinion until I see the actual game. My comment was that I liked the idea
of the game being made more like the new Epic game, since I like the new Epic
very much. In my opinion it is a better game and better simulation.

I am glad you have been doing so much research. Maybe you could share some of
the specifics you have learned with all of us, especially how it is becoming
more like Epic. The list would probably like to hear more about those
details.

Good, a fact we can address. However, remember you can always play the old
version with your lovingly created squads, and I encourage you to do so. I am
sorry if any changes disappoint you. Life goes on and things change ... that
is the one constant in life you will find as you grow older, assuming you are
allowed to grow older and don't self destruct or bring the wrath of god down
on yourself with ill conceived arguments or irrational ranting.

Again, I never said anything about the quality of your opinion ... it is after
all your opinion ... please try and give others some benefit of the doubt
before you bust a blood vessel over a simple comment. Then give us some of
your hard won wisdom about the game and the WHY behind your opinion. This
will make the discussion and dialogue ont he list so much more meaningful.

Do you have many friends? Do you get in fights with strangers on a frequent
or regular basis? I can't remember from our recent age discussion ... are you
over 14?
