If you think it's silly, then I think you don't really understand what I'm saying.

Spiking my drink with cyanide is going to be quite a bit worse than spiking it with more vodka. You aren't generally trying to kill something when you give it a glass of wine. Alcohol technically being a poison doesn't make any of the others okay. I'd guess the overwhelming number of people on...

Play = cooking, not eating. The finished dish is the story that everyone has experienced after the end of the session.

I mean, they're barbarians. You never want to make one unnecessarily mad. They rage often enough as is. :p

The barbarian is sliding into undeath because of his despair. Not all villains are villainous immediately. Poison users have traditionally been evil/bad guys in D&D. The warlock I agree with you on. The patrons aren't nice, but that doesn't translate into the warlock being a villain. I also...

Oh. I've skipped some posts. Do you have a post number so that I can go look and give you an answer?

The bolded is 100% wrong. "They should" is advice or what I think would be the right thing for them to do. That's what it means. It can also be an obligation, but I'm not using that definition of should.

To the people of Somalia, RPG generally means something completely different from how we use it on this site. ;)

I agree. Those Somalis probably don't give a rat's behind if country music vanishes from the planet. On an individual level, it's an individual decision.

On a macro level, yes. It's all important. On a micro level, not so much. I doubt you'll find many people in Somalia who care about roleplaying games.

I also answered that in previous posts. Play is not like eating a meal, because a meal that is cooked is exactly one way and that's railroading, not play. Group play is like cooking the ingredients where the PCs are one of the ingredients, as is all the DM prep. DM prep is solo play where the...

No. I have no idea where that came from as it has nothing to do with what I said.

"The oldest known, well-documented fruitcake is over 145 years old, baked in 1878 by Fidelia Ford in Berkey, Ohio. Currently kept by descendants in Tecumseh, Michigan, this family heirloom was never eaten because Fidelia passed away shortly after baking it." Not all food goes bad quickly. :p

I've not only heard many chefs say that they do this, but I, my wife, and just about everyone I know also do this. That is that we go to the fridge and look to see what is in it, including leftovers, and grab some stuff to cook with. We didn't have anything specific in mind when we started.

That would have been even better if you had said the nanobots were going to re-write your PHB. :p
