[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1894348, member: 2205"] Ah, OK. 'Coz, I mean, I have very definite tastes, and I'm not going to go pick up material I'm not interested in. I'll naturally gravitate to certain products and have little or no use for others. That's certainly divisive, but at least not offensive. But if someone else likes those products, that's absolutely fine. In fact, I think its great the the industry is divided enough to cater to both of our divergent tastes. I think Nisarg's big problem is that his entire existence (as perceived by the denizens of this forum, anyway) is centered around a bitter diatribe about the state of the gaming industry. He's made some rather wild and unreasonable leaps of causality and blame so that practically every word he types is a thinly veiled rant against White Wolf and the style of gamers that he imagines their games to promote. After essentially getting the boot at rpg.net (as near as I can tell) he's come here hoping that, "hey, those ENWorlders are d20 players; they must hate White Wolf" making the equally wild and unreasonable jump that we're not more diverse, mature and intelligent than that. In other words, he's not happy because the gaming industry has people who [b]aren't[/b] like him and who don't play the same games as him. He's probably best ignored, though. He's not dangerous, because so few people believe as he does, and he certainly isn't doing those who do any favors. It's not like his antics here are likely to recruit anyone to his cause. [/QUOTE]
