[QUOTE="rounser, post: 4354632, member: 1106"] What if you acknowledge your own bad taste? I have bad taste in music. I like bad music, but have the courtesy not to play it on anything other than headphones, because I don't want to inflict it on others. Or what if your taste is destructive or antisocial? If I have a taste for riding around in gas guzzling hum-vees whilst shooting at wildlife and blowing my nose on the flag as I flick the bird at passersby and eat deep fried mars bars with my other hand, you'll live and let live? Maybe I'll keel over from clogged coronary arteries sooner rather than later, and you won't have to deal with it. What if it's not just me, but the average person who likes to do this, numbering in their millions? Does that make it right? I think we're getting into political territory with that example, but it really is, because whatever core D&D is cooked up to serve the taste of the multitudes might be antisocial and destructive to the game in the long term, kind of like giving kids candy for each meal when they should be having a balanced diet. It's not simply preference - it's actually kind of political. And that's far too serious a point to end on for a game where you pretend to be an elf. :) [/QUOTE]
