Inspired by the title of this thread:

I have seen a lot of people complaining of GW's marketing policies, 
dumb rules, expensive figures etc.

But I rarely, if ever have seen anybody complaining about my own pet GW 
hate:
The often gory graphic and bloodthirsty rhetoric of their publications. 
Warhammer was first advertised with the headline "Let's smash skulls" 
and it has gone downhill from there - see their recent Dark Eldar. 

Like with other matters, your tastes may vary, but is it just me who 
prefers his games in a language that would not make a Nazi 
Kriegsberichterstatter blush ?
