While I prefer a nice classic two story, im gonna appreciate my rambler more as the years go by.
And it’s easier to do if/when everything is already ripped up than later down the road.
In fact, we replaced some of our towel holders with safety bars.

I just said this in a convo with someone else but it felt too good not to share here. . .
Sometimes the ENWorld forums* feel like the Fox News of RPGs, I experience cognitive dissonance between what many posters on here report as the RPG (particularly D&D) experience and my own experience. The former seems to reflect a world of angry isolated gamers who will not budge from their positions and are just looking to have their position "win," while the latter suggests that in general people are more open to trying things and/or letting others play how they want without thinking of it as an attack on their way of life.
*note I said the forums. ENworld news actually seems fair and balanced.

I suspect it's a "squeaky wheel" thing – people who are loud and obnoxious get all the attention. People who are laid back and don't feel the need to defend their tastes or, worse, foist them on others won't be posting repeatedly in various discussion threads. At most, they'll make a post or two stating their position and then peace out.
I suspect most of the more relaxed people you're describing will not be participating in a thread past the tenth or so page, or whenever it devolves into one of the standard recurring arguments. They'll drop out, and they won't join (though they might look in from time to time, out of morbid curiosity).

Correct. I give one or two replies and then move on. I'm retired and don't have time to discuss all day on forums.
