That said, the correct determinant for what kind of discussion is 'appropriate' for a game store is the person in charge of the game store, not a person who just walked in a couple of weeks ago. If the folks there feel comfortable discussing certain topics, it's likely because those topics are deemed 'OK' for that environment.Except that AL does involve itself directly with those sorts of topics via the Code of Conduct. My main point is that, just as AL doesn't allow players to browbeat DMs with printed-out copies of Sage Advice or other rules discussions, AL shouldn't allow players to browbeat store owners and organizers with the Code of Conduct -- just because I or you or the original poster might consider something a violation doesn't make it so, because it's up to the folks in charge of that space to decide what is allowable conduct in that space. Now, if enough people complain to WotC Customer Service about a particular store, then maybe the problem is with the store and not with the people complaining; I'm not saying every store environment is defensible as long as everyone in the store agrees. But given that the only information we have about the store is from the person who is admitting he's not happy with it, I'm loath to assume that the story we're getting is entirely unbiased.And, of course, since I have no official credentials with Adventurers League, if the original poster isn't happy with my comments, he can just lump me in with those jerks ruining his fun; he can still find a group that fits him better and enjoy the game just fine, or he can give up the game entirely if he chooses to.--Pauper</blockquote>
