I do all sorts of things to myself that I try not to do to someone else. Or at least I try to ask permission first.

Quick question: When you are running friendly NPCs, people who are genuinely out to help the PCs as much as they can -- are you still the adversary?
Another way of stating my position: the game just lies there, in pieces, without the DM to facilitate play. That's what I mean by facilitator.

Mercule said:I'm not sure that "facilitator" is the word I would have chosen, but "adversary" definitely is not. If there's a wrong way to play D&D (and I'm not sure there is), it'd have to be with the GM actively competing with the players, which is what "adversary" means to me.
