It seems that most gamers have been through some sort of silly bashing of their favorite hobby sometime in their lives. We had a case here years ago where a boy commited suicide by shooting himself in his car. His Parents had recently got divorced, he had broken up with his girlfriend and he had a history of social problems and issues with depression not to mention alcohol and possible drug abuse. Oh yea and they found a D&D book in his car. Case closed, D&D drove him to suicide, it was presented in the newspaper that way even. They theorized that his character must of died in the game, so he shot himself, now there is some grade A newspaper reporting for you. By my experience the best thing to do in this situation is to try to get the parents to go after the woman because she ruined Prom, I don't care how well you come off or how much research you show, If you fight that hard for D&D you must be obsessed with it and will end up shooting people at school. If you fight for Prom they you are a upstanding member of your school who is worried that their poor parents are out money due to the fact that she changed the dress code without giving proper notice. Once people are mad then you throw in other stuff, oh yea she also did this.......... or you won't belive what the woman said about.......... Get every little thing she has done wrong ever and start it rolling as a snowball, then throw the D&D thing in as a afterthought. Parents really love to get together for a good fight against the system, makes them feel like they are being good parents. It will be hard to get parents to support you on your little game problem, but when they have to eat a $500 Prom Dress because they were not told it couldn't be strapless, well that's just unconstitutional. It wouldn't hurt to carry a micro cassette recorder just in case you can catch the woman saying something outlandish or off the wall.</blockquote>
