[QUOTE="Nightchilde-2, post: 1726965, member: 4109"] Because environment is a huge part of childhood development, and when I'm not playing online, my children are present. And I don't particularly care to introduce into their environment on a regular basis those who are mentally unstable enough to think that they shapeshift into a wolf at the full moon, trap peoples' souls in crystals or for whom personal hygeine means bathing once a month and smelling like urine. If they get into their heads that this sort of behavior is "right" and acceptable, and begin emulating or sharing in it, then they WILL be rejected by society. It's not about rejecting people that are unlike them. I'm very open-minded, and I encourage them to be too. I do/will encourage them to meet and interact with people of a wide range and with an open outlook, but those that are unstable enough to not work in polite society they should be, at the very least, wary of. There's odd/eccentric and then there's potentially dangerous. Would you want your 2 or 8-year old's world-views influenced by someone who believes that drinking human blood is a perfectly viable form of socially acceptable behavior? I sure wouldn't. :D [/QUOTE]
