| Dec 11, 2019 at 20:14 | comment | added | Jamie Watts | I teach and I think that telling students about things daily gives me a tendency to speak with an unfortunate, undeserved, out-of-place tone of certainty if I feel like I kind of know what I'm talking about. That, combined with the fact that I've been playing and DM'ing D&D since 1978, when I was 13, and am excited about it, feel confident about it, and so on, mean I need to control myself and remind myself D&D is a game that changes with each edition and is open to interpretation in many ways. Gentle reminders like yours are exactly what I need when I start pontificating. Thank you again. | |

I sincerely apologize - and truly I'm being sincere because I can see what you mean now that I am looking back at it - so, I sincerely apologize for the way my tone conveyed certainty in some ways when what I was trying to convey was my own personal opinion. | |

I'll suggest that you walk back from making so broad of a statement that you can't support it (and you can't). You may want to rephrase that. Or not. Up to you. Your last paragraph has some decent points on how to fold a new player in. | |
