[QUOTE="HellHound, post: 2835180, member: 3397"] No game-a-day post from me today, I've got something else eating me up besides Tony. I understand 100% why we have a no politics and no religion rule on ENWorld. I for one have very strong beliefs regarding both, and for the first time I've found myself in a gaming environment where this is causing problems. I try not to talk politics (or sexuality, or religion - my big three impolite topics) while gaming, but occasionally it comes up. I've generally gamed with people who have the same politics as I do - maybe not as far to whatever side that I lean towards, but at least a general tolerance for my beliefs. This relates somewhat to the "do you game with friends" thread, because I would never accept this gentleman as one of my friends. Because this one member of my current secondary group (who is also the host of the events) and I just don't see each other's perspectives at all. I won't go into it, to avoid breaking the rules here, but it seems to pop up whenever we game sooner or later. To the point where I've actually considered dropping this gaming group. His politics are directly opposite not just my politics, but my lifestyle, and who I am. I'm not dropping the group, because I think we can be mature enough about it to avoid talking about it. What makes it worse is that he's the strongest role-player in the group. Have you ever had politics get in the way of gaming? Have you ever dropped a group or just a player due to politics? [/QUOTE]
