It's a phenomenon I don't like. I have therefore done two things in response: (1) I have attempted to develop theories to explain the pheonomenon and (2) I have made house rules in my game to avoid this unpleasant phenomenon happening again.Theories, by virtue of their nature, are constructed from generalizations. Your post suggests that you believe all theories are wrong because generalizations are sometimes wrong. I think your position was better expressed by someone whose name escapes me at the moment who said, "All generalizations are wrong."For the record, Bob, I don't game with people I find problematic. My campaigns are sufficiently popular that I don't need to waste a second on problem players. They're out of my game if they're difficult. Unfortunately, throwing people out of games is disruptive both socially and narratively; therefore, I've developed policies so that I don't have to kick people out.Although I'd have a full-time job responding to all the absurd sophistry that's being employed to argue against me, I must make an exception and respond to your assertion that because I think women are more complex than men that this somehow means I think all women are the same. On second thought, I don't need to respond; I think my summary of your point covers it.Finally, although I think I can rely on other posters to elaborate this point, just to reiterate, believing oneself to be right is not the same as telling everyone what to do.</blockquote>
