[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5991093, member: 8835"] that sounds pretty clear. It was off-putting to me, because of my pre-existing bias to the word Entitlement, and hearing it said in a way that sounded dismissive to the person who's friend disapeared to play an MMO. My friend can quit D&D to play an MMO 24x7, but that's a little whacked, and not nice to do to your friends. Calling me Entitled makes it sound like I'm the one with the problem. (note: in the MMO thread, I was not involved in that part of the conversation, I'm just using myself as an example). Using the grannie at the crossing light example, she doesn't have a right to guaranteed help in crossing the intersection. but something's wrong with society if everybody walks past her without offering to help. If Entitled is the new word to describe extremism in expecting of others, there should be a comparable word to describe callous disregard for others feelings and needs. In the case of the MMO addict, the friends who are left behind have hurt feelings that they have been totally abandoned by the addict. that's not nice to do, and maybe the MMO player likes his new game better than D&D, but totally ignoring friends is not the same thing.
