QUOTE (Interesting comment from another thread where a GM asked for opinions about his decisions)
Whenever I see a thread like this, I wonder how many of the diehard opponents and proponents have stable, long-term games of which they are a part. (Wouldn't that make for an interesting discussion, if each person had to precede their post with a statement not only of years of experience playing, but of how long their longest campaign lasted?)

If one is lucky enough to have participated in a long running game, is their opinion more valid than a newbie with a sense of fairness?

If you have not been a part of a long running game, should your opinions be discounted?

Would preceding a post with years of play and longest game matter? Or would it be as potentially misleading as the post count titles and join date that are currently displayed?

These questions and more coming right up when we answer, Why should anyone listen to you?
