[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8089921, member: 23751"] So a few things. First, distasteful means dislike or disgusting, offensive or unpleasant. Food you don't like could fall into that category. Personally, I wouldn't call all foods I don't like distasteful, but some for sure. As an example, I don't like liver, but I wouldn't call it distasteful. Tea on the other hand brings me close to vomiting, and that would clearly fall into the disgusting and unpleasant categories. I find tea distasteful. Min-maxing is no different. Just because you don't find it to be distasteful, doesn't mean that others don't. Either way, though, nobody should be telling other people that what they are doing is wrong unless they are trying to bring their min-max into a game where it doesn't belong. If I'm at a game convention and I pass a table of min-maxers having a good time, I'm going to think to myself that it's not for me and move along. It's not my place to make a comment. However, if someone tries to bring a min-maxed PC into my game, I'm going to speak up and shut it down. Min-maxing is disruptive in my group. Sure. People have different views about things all the time. I don't see it as pandering to min-maxers, but I can see where others might. [/QUOTE]
