[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8938571, member: 5142"] I don't know how new you are here, Pedantic, but I can tell you from past experiences over about a decade or more on this forum having been in similar positions as [USER=6785785]@hawkeyefan[/USER], is that we are sometimes damned if we do or damned if we don't. It doesn't really matter how we frame the situation or how we say anything. I can tell you from past experience that if we tried tackling the topic the way that you insist would work, I can guarantee you that it wouldn't. The usual crew would come out and claim that our games can't possibly work or that they are invalid ways of playing. We've been there, done that. Gone around the block numerous times. We have tried it your way. It's never good enough. The games we like, our play preferences, or even discussing them are invalid. I apologize for being somewhat cynical here, but it's hard not feel jaded after awhile with these recurring discussions. 🤷‍♂️ [/QUOTE]
