[ANOTHER FLAME WAR] Are dragons overpowered or not?

Of course, there are exceptions to many rules, but these are precisely exceptions, and they are rare. Therefore, it is often possible to eliminate them, especially when it comes to works of intellectual labor.

Show me a rule that states that dragons MUST be evil and terrifying creatures. This is not documented anywhere. So, it is not worth speaking categorically about "rules" and "exceptions." Just as it is not worth presenting stereotypes as rules and rejecting alternative options simply because they do not fit into a favorite theory.

However, such categoricalness in your judgments and the judgments of your friend is quite possibly due to your young age.

If you think that your seriousness is an indicator of maturity, you are deeply mistaken. This section is also frequented by quite mature people. They come here to relax and unwind. And you, as I see, are not striving to relax. Do you want to appear older and smarter than you are? Or do you simply think that we are not worthy of communicating with us on an equal footing, and therefore you adopt a stern look to show that we are as far from you as Peking is from crabs? Believe me, many of us, if we wish, can write quite serious and intelligent things, but they do it in the appropriate sections. Here, we simply entertain ourselves as best we can. In one topic, we argue about one thing, in another - about something else, and with a different group of people, in a third - we sing songs together as a friendly company. And everything is quiet and peaceful, a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. It is a pity that you do not feel it and reject it.
