Yeah, I think we have enough edition warriors out there, its good to try and be reasonable!
I don't even see the point to "edition warriors." I don't care much for 2.x or 3.x (and think what I've seen of 4.x isn't even D&D), but unless someone is trying to get a law passed saying I have to play hated edition X, why would I care that they love hated edition X?
Good ideas can be gained from discussions of any edition of any RPG. I don't play WoD games, I've never gotten into them. I had enough angst when I was a teen to want to play games full of angst.
However, reading a campaign description of an early V:tM game in the 1990s gave be a great idea for a vampire villain and his plot to take control of a barony and then the kingdom in my fantasy campaign.
