[QUOTE="Autumnal, post: 9316977, member: 6671663"] For me, I’ve been thinking, dislikes are usually fine. If someone just doesn’t have fun with X, even though I may like or love it, well, there how tastes go. They should set it down and go have time with Y, which [I]is[/I] fun for them. It’s when dislike becomes hate that I start getting drained. An occasional rant is fine - I do it myself. But when someone takes every opportunity to explain how a damn RPG is evil, its creators are evil, its fans are evil, and the harm the thing does to the sacred union that is gamerdom? The Hopi have a word, [I]Koyaanisqatsi[/I], that means “life out of balance”. This is out of balance. People shouldn’t hate games that way. That much passion is inappropriate for things that are so much less significant than the suffering of real human beings and of the world around us.
