[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8033083, member: 7023840"] "I didn't realize Patricia Pulling was a figure of authority who could dictate which books are to be sold." "I didn't realize the PMRC was a figure of authority who could dictate what music is to be sold." "I didn't realize American Family Association was a figure of authority who could dictate what benefits companies give to same-sex partners, and could dictate that media products not 'promote the homosexual agenda'." Etc. The wonderful and scary thing about the principles of free speech is that it allows people to advocate for harmful things, even curtailing free speech. Which is why we must be vigilant. If you cannot protect speech you do not agree with, do not expect the speech you like to be protected. And if you can't stand up for the "mere games" like D&D and 1e, then all the effort people went into in the 80s defending it against the likes of Patricia Pulling was for nothing. Don't think that these attitudes will stay the same, either. [B]"I was with it once! And then they changed what it was! And now what I'm with isn't it and what's it seems weird and scary to me! And it'll happen to you!"[/B] [/QUOTE]
