[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 6011177, member: 17106"] I think you've actually captured the tone that constituted the problem in the first place. This is a hobby that people spend an enormous amount of time on over large parts of their lives. Like any creative endeavor it's something that some people put their hearts and souls into, and the output can be really meaningful to them. It's also an activity that most people either don't understand or are actively antagonistic towards. Thus, when gaming insiders do something that suggests that that suggests that the way particular people play is "wrong", they can get defensive; i.e. It's not at all wrong to feel this way, nor is it the result of any kind of prejudgment about the game itself. It's simply a question of there being something offensive and people getting defensive about it. You may not think that a small aspect of a roleplaying game is worth getting upset over, but some people do. [/QUOTE]
