My original statement was meant semi-facetiously and not at all as seriously as Parmandur took it. I don't care how Mercer or anyone plays - it doesn't upset me. I just find it unappealing, that's all. If you or others like it, more power to you.
This is ridiculous, Parmandur. You won't even accept my word usage and are making stuff up about how I feel. One more time: I don't feel "disgust." I don't equate "off-putting" and "disgust," in the same way I don't equate "warm" and "hot."
I said nothing about badwrongfun, gatekeeping, or how the game should or should not be played. I don't care! That is all projection on your part. I'm not sure why you're so insistent upon being offended, but I'm not really interested in being a stand-in for whatever things you're upset about. K?
