Here is a good way to think about it: How would you feel if you were in a book group and another group member brought their girlfriend Christie along? Not because she read the book and has something to offer. Hell, she doesn't even know how to read! Just because Christie wants to spend more time with her boyfriend. Rather than watch or play a Gameboy she tries to become part of the group. You have to explain everything to her and she slows everything down. 4 or 5 members have a poor time because of Christie's actions. As if this weren't bad enough Christie doesn't want this to be a one-shot. Oh no, Christie wants to do this to every Thursday night discussion. People immediately grasp how rude this is and would never do it to a book club yet they insist on doing it repeatedly do gamers. Unbelievable.</p></blockquote><p></p>
