Read whatever I say however you may, no need to apologize for glancing at it. Quite frankly I don't know why this thread still remains unlocked :|

Also, just to let everyone know, I'll report any further insults or bickering from anyone. And surely we all think Toady has better things to do than step in because people don't know how to have a rational, polite discussion about such important subjects?  :)

The entire discussion is based on a derail.

It's not the derailement, which isn't actually objectionable, but the tone, which is.

I apologise for being a big enough idiot to argue on the internet. I should've known better.

swords > axes because they're lighter and thus faster
spears > swords because they're longer
axes > spears because they're heavy and can smash them out of the way

So... what you are saying is we all need to use pole-arms since they are usually axes on the ends of spears and thus better then everything?

Sadly doesn't work since Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn proves beyond all shadow of a doubt that poleaxes are just more powerful axes. Oh well.

Magma > Poleaxes

When I was reorganizing my inventory to fit all by books on life and death into various bags and things, I looked at my inventory and saw that I was multigrasping a necromancer slab.  It was pretty hilarious.
I think that would be an excellent way to impart the critical lessons of life and death to the ignorant masses.
