This story is unique, as are the elves in it. What is not in the wiki is not canon. If it conflicts with your idea ... deal with it. Poe is perfectly within his rights, as an author, to redefine anything at all to his liking. If you disagree, tough! You will get no sympathy from this author.
If it says "MEOW", do you start a page long discussion before thinking: "Perhaps it's a cat?" And then somehow think it is a novel thought? I put in words in my posts, words with meaning, yet somehow some people seem to skip the important ones.
Err... Perhaps I'm expecting too much of you guys, so I collected the words for easy perusal: "may vary", "good overview", "most likely", "must be"^W^W, "Perhaps"
I think there was
something being said on this very topic just yesterday.
It may have been said but in this case, it isn't pertinent. You offered a clear critique and the implied opinion that Poe's elves should conform to D&D standards, further implying that not doing so was somewhat deficient or not up to *your* standards. There were no equivocating words in your post. My post was in direct answer to the tone and implications in your post.
Further, your last post is along your usual lines of implied superiority and I find it extremely patronising and on the verge of being insulting. The very fine edge of insulting, in fact. I've mentioned the problems with your approach to you before, in PMs. You refused to take the hint and even replied in public. You seem to be more for aggrandising your own ego than contributing to this forum of peers.
We are here for fun and not to play king-of-the-hill. Some of us are old enough to be tired of playing those sorts of games. Neither do we do formal debate, chosing instead to have conversations. In good conversations, one doesn't usually chose to bash ones fellow conversationalists over the head and call them five sorts of imbecile. One certainly doesn't offer free insults with virtually every post.
Perhaps you should peruse the Internet for tutorials about the fine art of conversation? The only thing more astounding than your arrogance is that you're trying to pull it off with this hyper-intelligent crowd. I can't think of a single active forum member that you haven't yet insulted with your arrogant ways.
Yes, you committed the crime of insulting the story and its author. Yes, we are fans. As far as I'm concerned, you can sell that shit anywhere but here.
