Really, I dosen't make video gamers out to be the pathetic losers the origanaly post claimed it did. I think that's an important point.Ahem. I'm not trying to pretend anything. I simply disagree with you. Contrary to popular belife, people can simply disagree. Try it sometime, you might find that you enjoy it.Yes, I actually think that. Of course I have the exact same pices of evidence you do to back-up my conclusion, an article about booth babes at a video game convention and personal experiance. When you live in world (as I do) where mothers run CCG legues because they love to play, when guy, his son, and his current girlfriend are playing the same CCG and having a blast, when two of your closest gaming friends are married, one of them with a baby, when you ran a game at the local pizza parlor for two years, when you've sold the latest D&D bookk to highschool cheerleader and her exact opposit on the same day, then yeah, I'd have to say that isn't the popular view of gamers. Where I live, the local gaming club has whole familes playing. While everyone seems to agree that unwashed, smelly, and stinky people are the sterotypical gamer, not everyone (as this thread indicates) belives it. Sense I don't think that the perception is as pervailent as you do, then this has no real meaning to me. It's rather like the question "have you stopped beating your wife yet."Sigh. If you don't want to game with someone because you don't like them, go right a head. I don't care what the reason is. To exclude someone from your table "for the good of the hobby" is elitest. In all honesty, I'd rather take an inclusionist attitude toward the hobby. Oh, I have my limits, but they involve extreems like people who think they are werewolves.Anyways. Just make a note that I dissagree with you, it does happen sometimes.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
