[QUOTE="TanithT, post: 5949174, member: 87695"] I did feel dismissed, specifically by what you said in response to my sharing my own experience and perspective. I respect your right to draw different conclusions, have different opinions, and to disagree. Whether it was your intent or not, and your later posts suggests that it probably was not, I honestly felt that what you said was more dismissive than disagreeing. Just letting you know that this was how I personally felt after reading your response to my restaurant analogy. That's all. No grand universal truths intended or implied here. More than one. The combined impact this week of this thread, of taking a statistical look at the promo stuff handed out on Free RPG Day, and the display in my local gaming store has been pretty significant for me. Not that it isn't just more of the same stuff I've been dealing with for years, but it's been a pretty solid confirmation on all fronts that there really is very little left here that is fun for me. The people who think of themselves as the good guys in gaming, as the ones who are speaking out *against* discrimination, are also telling me that I'm wrong for trying to explain what it actually feels like to me. They're saying that my experiences are invalid or don't exist. And that does have an impact. Though probably not the one they intended. [/QUOTE]
