I'm sorry, but that just means your stupid.
I mean, this was the wird’s original meaning, but it eventually came to be a more generic term for an old soldier. Likewise, gorignard may have originally meant the folks who didn’t want to adopt 2e, but it has since become a general term for gamers who stick with outdated rulesets when new ones become a available. When I was an edition soldier, “Grognard” mostly referred to 3e/PF fans. Nowadays the 4e crowd could be considered grognards.
I am just a self-proclaimed old fart, too crotchety to worry whether i am a grognard.Yes, thus, "But, you know, language weakens, generalizes, and loses meaning over time. Call yourself what you want. "
But then again, if you started RPGs with 3e, and call yourself a grognard... you are not going to earn much respect from people who have been gaming for 20 years longer than you have...
You think you can tell if an entire roleplay game suits a stranger's playstyle by one post on the internet?

Who calls themselves a grognard? It has connotations of stodginess and fear of change and is generally used to denigrate people for being behind the times when it comes to gaming. And who wants to earn the respect of people who gatekeep the term from people they don’t think are old and stodgy enough?
By that definition, Diaglo would have been one of the few to qualify, as he called that stuff from 1978 “new-fangled”. I do miss him around here....
