[QUOTE="Nisarg, post: 1778616, member: 19893"] Well, I guess the next time I make a post about the problems gaming faces with "cat-piss men" and the need for us to police our own gaming tables and FLGSs more effectively, and I get the regular bunch of ostriches telling me that no such problems exist or that I'm being cruel or that its not gamer's fault its "society's prejudice", I'll just post a link to this thread (and the RPG.net one, which is far worse). In my case, I've run into a lot of people with serious hygene or social retardation issues, but nothing on the level of the stories in this thread. I suppose that the most extreme case I ran into was the guy who had an unhealthy obsession with the kid who played Anakin Skywalker in Phantom Menace. That was one of a number of wierd and annoying things that led me to kick him out of my gaming group; another was the fact that he was a 27 year old still living in his mom's house... which in and of itself is a serious social problem but not uncommon among gamers, only this guy is the only one I ever met who STILL HAD A CURFEW. His mom would call him at around 11pm to remind him he had to be home by midnight (our games usually ran to 3am) and if he didn't go home his brother would come by to pick him up (the whole family seemed very strange to me). When I told him not to come back he broke into tears, and on three seperate occasions he came back on a gaming night to try to get back in.. the first time he actually tried to convince my players to "refuse to play" until I brought him back (they all but laughed in his face), and the last time he came back was about six months after he'd been kicked out and over three since any of us had seen him. Anyways, that's only some of the annoying things about him, but even with all that he doesn't really compare to the rest of the examples in this thread. Nisarg [/QUOTE]
