I read everything you said.

You agreed emphatically with Scott's statement that he would retire this
Basher, and made the ONE other suggestion that I try putting him in the
Home Guard arena.  Interestingly, I hadn't stated which arena this Basher
is PRESENTLY in because IT WASN'T RELEVANT TO THE QUESTION.

The question was "Given that you had to fight this guy in the arena, what
would you try?"  I don't care which arena.  I'm looking for ideas to try
on the turnsheet, not suggestions for where to stick it.

The "strong words," by the way, weren't meant to be strong.  They are
accurate, and there is not necessarily anything wrong with that -- most
players are apparently more concerned with finding the best long-term
(i.e. Primus) potenial warrior they can get than anything else, and
that's a perfectly reasonable approach to the game.  I never said that it
wasn't, but simply that it wasn't mine.  To me it is a little narrow, or
"tunnel viewed," an approach: I enjoy exploring more different aspects of
Duelmasters than that will allow.  From most of your points of view, your
quick "retire him" or "try Home Guard" answers may have been reasonable.
From mine, they are useless, as THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MY QUESTION.
I think no less of anyone for their approaches to playing DM or anything
else, but I AM a little annoyed with these non-answers to my posting.

> Did I make you think
>that I felt I was wasting my time?  How?

I posted a question.  You posted a response that didn't address the
question at all.  That was a waste (to me, at least).

Again, I don't mean to attack, just clarifying (if bluntly).
