D&D is (or should be) all about the people playing and thier enjoyment of the experience. All of us who enjoy tabletop roleplaying games have enough common ground to appreciate the activity at its core even if we approach it differently.  Take for example the various threads that have appeared in the past about stupid things PC's have done. These stories about the fatal PC follies are entertaining to those of us in the hobby even if we have never played the game that generated the story. All of us will not like the same exact movies but we can  talk about movies in general without all being on an identical page about our choices.  I find it much more interesting that there are so many gaming styles even within as narrow a range as just D&D. Differences and the communication of these differences help bring fresh ideas to people or whole groups that can keep the gaming experience interesting. Sometimes these differences can result in arguments but even arguments approached in a civil manner can be productive.  Here's the thing. If we all try and get on the same page just to avoid arguments then eventually we will run out of worthwhile things to talk about.</blockquote>
