Why would anyone think that posting a thread "Do away with Merchant..." in the Merchant forum is a good idea?

It's amazing how the approach you take on something like this can set you up for success or failure.

If the guy had started out saying:

- lots of crafters need some vendor capability

- the way that merchant currently exists doesn't really support anyone's idea ofwhat a "real" merchant would be able to do (e.g., consignment sales, etc)

- and then proposed *strengthening* the Merchant profession a lot and oh, btw, take a few of the current perks and make them available to crafters

then the discussion wouldn't be anywhere near as lopsided. But instead he announced "I'm going to dump gas on a pile of leaves and strike a match - let's all play in the leaves".

Believe me, I don't. It strikes me as being slightly smarter than draping a bunch of raw steaks around your neck, and jumping in a cage full of lions at the circus.

But since the brawl was already going, what the hey? BANZAI !!!!!
