Badwrongfun & unintentional elitism...

[Desdichado]

Seriously, though... that's a good point and very true. I see this especially with people who've only played D&D instead of branching out and trying other games; they sometimes aren't even aware of any other way of doing things, even if D&D isn't the best game ever for them. I think it would do everyone some good to find some other groups to play some games with on occasion, at gamedays or something, and it would do everyone some good to play around with different games and systems from time to time.

Wow, has it really been three years? Time, she flies:

Not everybody likes the same sort of games.
Everybody ought to play the sort of games they like.
It's not a stupid idea to sometimes try something you're not sure if you like or not.
Just because somebody likes or dislikes something you feel differently about doesn't make them (or you) stupid or a jerk.
Except Julie Andrews. If you dislike Julie Andrews, you're a jerk. And Golden Retriever puppies.

Corrollaries:
Find out what sort of game a DM is running before you decide to play it.
Decide what kind of game you're running before you recruit players -- unless you're willing to change things according to player ideas.
Watch Mary Poppins.

Did I miss anything?

Well, at least we know one thing that won't change with 4e. Mary Poppins will still be practically perfect in every way.
