Which I read as "what you want from RPGs is marginal, please leave me alone with it, no one but you and your two friends are interested in that."
I'm not begrudging anyone their D&D style fun. There's lots of aspects to it that I like (though I prefer to find them in Troika! and DCC, which do a better job at distilling them). But lots of people not already into RPGs these days to think they know what RPGs are - they're D&D, and if they're not interested in what is presented as D&D (power fantasies and eclectic, over-the-top fantasy trappings, heroic "class" archetypes, levelling until you're a demi-god), you've often already lost them. And that is a pity.
