((4E)) An injustice to Little John!

That's not what people are saying at all, man. In 3.5, quarterstaffs were a double-weapon, meaning it was a single weapon with two striking ends, so you could use a two-weapon fighting style with it if desired. Think Darth Maul if you're having trouble visualizing that.

They're saying that for 4th edition you have the staff count as two weapons so you could make double strikes and other ranger two-weapon attacks with it (attacking once with each end).

Ah, right. It was late. Sounds fair enough (apart from the usual ranger two-weapon nonsense).
