My renewed interest in the Pathfinder adventure paths and how I might convert them has had me wandering over to ENWorld a bit again this last 24 hours or so. And what happened? Umbran happened. Again. And on an alignment thread again, too.
Why do I think that there's decent discussion to be had there? Well, there is—occasionally. In fact, I had some decent discussion with some guys about Pathfinder, their business model, the launch of 2e, etc. I might even synthesize my thoughts, updated after that discussion on it. Oh, sure. We're all just a bunch of armchair little CEOs, talking about stuff without access to much of the data, but still.
Anyway, you know the apocryphal story. Apparently Einstein said that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. I doubt that he actually said that, although of course it's not impossible. Of course, falsely attributing to him something that he probably didn't say is hardly the most egregious hoax related to Einstein.
In any case, my experience at ENWorld, after even only a few short hours, was predictably ridiculous. The only sad thing was, I didn't predict it. Anyway, here's a visualization of your typical ENWorld conversation.
