Out of curiosity, what do you find most objectionable about the column? I mean, aside from my comments about God. What do you find to be the most unreasonable assertion or suggestion?

I was repeating myself too much in terms of comments on the Gypsies book, and I've modified it more replacing Chicago with Berlin, since the old Berlin book was such a hot mess.

I was suggesting the "token brown staffer" actually be the one to write or compose the material on a minority population, be it a direct translation or a pastiche. And then only for their own minority population, not for another minority population.

Yes, yes it is, because gaming is usually only discussed by gamers and gaming issues are only ever analysed or examined by gamers. Namely, there is a paucity of commentary or critical examination of the issues outside our circles. So, because there are few direct discussion of the issue I can...

I am uncomfortable when adolescent males play women, because they usually play them as crazy sluts. The running gag about this kind of thing in the Gamers II is not far off the mark.

Yes, yes I did. Yes, yes it is.

I want to thank everyone for their comments, even the ones with which I disagree. I am revising the column, which unfortunately appears to be making it longer.

When the Greeks complained, the Romans crucified them. We are trying to do better.

Oops, double post - I am doing this with a smartphone.

I agree with a number of your points, but I need to make it more express in the column. Specifically I see it all as a snare, or maybe multiple snares, and there is no happy resolution. Sometimes the only way to win is by not playing.

Billd91, the Gaiman quote will go in the revised version of the column as I had forgotten about it until this afternoon.
