People get so upset and make it seem like Essentials is ruining what already exists. That is idiocy, and idiocy gets a response.
...whatever

My thoughts exactly, play with what you have fun with. Simple as that.....my group and I play original 4e and we are having a blast. No need for essentials, but if others enjoy thats fine.
What an intriguing, logical, and level-headed viewpoint. It's almost as if you have taken intelligence, tolerance, and understanding, and woven it together to find common ground, all without needing to insult anyone.
Revolutionary! 
Heh Pretty much. To be honest, though I am sick of all these Essential threads. You see one and you seen them all. They are the same thing over and over again, some one either defending it, or deriding it, and people fighting each other. The point of these games are not to fight whatever version they play to validate their sad ego. No these games are about having fun, but often times, in my local game shop, and here people forget that. Who really cares? I am not big on essentials, but I am not going to waste my breath on what is better and what is not. I donot care if you play pathfinder, 4e, essentials, 2nd edition, Shadowrun, Savage Worlds, Dragon Age, Rifts, or whatever.....as long as your having fun, you play with people you enjoy with thats what matters. Right now we are playing 4e, and we are having fun. thats what matters, the importance is whether you are having fun or not. People forget this simple concept...

My participation in these threads isn't so much arguing over opinions, which everyone is entitled to, but people being silly. Things might not go how you'd like, but that is no reason to be silly or ignorant about it.

thats the problem I have. Like I said, the peopl you describe by being silly and ignorant are the one that forgot what these games are intended to do....to have fun.

There is more bile, hatred, ignorance and insanity in Essentials hate threads than in 4E vs 3E/Pathfinder threads these days. The Edition War that broke out in the game sales rankings thread was eerily civilized and well behaved.

There are just too many people coming here trying to incite division. Considering that D&D is a social game, I find little to tolerate in that behavior. I would think that a community of intelligent people filled with imagination can work together to find solutions rather than creating problems. The in-fighting and the (not so hidden) sniping at people and groups with differing opinions really needs to stop.
Reflavoring: the change of flavor without changing any mechanical part of the game, no matter how small, in order to fit the mechanics to an otherwise unsupported concept.
Retexturing: the change of flavor (with at most minor mechanical adaptations) in order to effortlessly create support for a concept without inventing anything new.
Houseruling: the change, either minor or major, of the mechanics in order to better reflect a certain aspect of the game, including adapting the rules to fit an otherwise unsupported concept.
Homebrewing: the complete invention of something new that fits within the system in order to reflect an unsupported concept.
Default module =/= Core mechanic.

I think the appropriate word is hysteria. This thread, and others like it, are Essentials Hysteria threads.

An unmanageble fear of Essentials? Seems fitting. All the hatred our side sees towards essentials is stemming from fear, after all.
Fear that this is how things are going to be done from now on.
Fear for the very future of the game we love.
Fear it will be changed to the hideous, dumbed down format and there will be nothing to look forward to.
Fear of having to watch a new publish after publish of what we consider paper waste roll out of the press, while the things we used to love slowly sink into the twilight.
Fear that the Wizards will do all this and shun away form us, and we'll never be able to bask in their radiance again, for it is now cold, dark and dead to us.
We looked at essentials, we were stupefied. We got told it's only temporary, and after they were done we'd get back to the things we liked. We sighed in relief. Now we get told this is how things are going to be from now on. Fear? Of course we fear.
