Since I happen to fit the description you gave, by extension, you think I'm jerk.I realise I'm jumping on your head for something you didn't ACTUALLY say, but I'm doing it to make a point -- you're painting with a broad brush, and you're getting paint on me. If you don't want to be insulting, then either narrow your brush or don't apply such insulting terms to those you're painting.I'm doing the same to you, KM, I know. There's just a lot of generalizing going on in this thread and I find discussions more interesting when they focus on more, er, focussed stuff.That was going to make a lot more sense when I started typing.Anyway, KM, you and I are in total agreement, for the most part -- there's just more of those really big brushes getting used in your posts, and I think it's hurting your reasoning.Some of us agree on the following, I think:Not everybody likes the same sort of games.Everybody ought to play the sort of games they like.It's not a stupid idea to sometimes try something you're not sure if you like or not.Just because somebody likes or dislikes something you feel differently about doesn't make them (or you) stupid or a jerk.     Except Julie Andrews. If you dislike Julie Andrews, you're a jerk. And Golden Retriever puppies.Corrollaries:Find out what sort of game a DM is running before you decide to play it.Decide what kind of game you're running before you recruit players -- unless you're willing to change things according to player ideas.Watch Mary Poppins.Did I miss anything?</blockquote>
