Nisarg said that it's time to stop tolerating all these l00z3r gamers. He set one specific criteria having to do with whether folks are living with their folks or not as a sign of social dysfunction.In what way is this not: "Gamers who don't fit my criteria are losers?"And what is being used to support this position? A Really Popular essay on the Internet.Pardon? In case you've just been skimming, I advocate *intolerance.* I don't care whether Cat Piss Man is out there. I'll never be gaming with him. I don't care about being surprised at CPM hanging out at a table at a con or something. I talk to players before committing.And when I do hear about a reputed CPM from gamers I don't care for, I usually find the k3wl gam0r more irritating than the supposed CPM.One of the great lessons in life is that you do not have to get along with nice people, and that you will not like many nice people. Once this is contemplated, you will, in the fullness of wisdom, be able to not game with people for no reason other than your gut feeling, and you will no longer need the prop of pretending that folks are nerdier than thou.</blockquote>
