Do people still have trouble understanding and accepting that someone else might prefer a different way to play the game? And that it doesn't make them wrong because its different than what you would do?!

At this point, we simply have to understand that the answer to your question is a resounded yes. These folks tend to be predictable though, so its pretty easy to ignore their contributions on particular subjects. YMMVDo people still have trouble understanding and accepting that someone else might prefer a different way to play the game?

Fun fact: I photoshopped that pic together at least ten years before the "lemon-ade" meme became a thing...

I mean, there's "the right way" to play and then there's whatever thing you manage to pass off to your group as "your way," Gods help you all.Do people still have trouble understanding and accepting that someone else might prefer a different way to play the game?

Seriously speaking, though, lurking in "Let's Read Dragon Magazine" and similar threads has taught me that people have argued about this from the very beginning. In fact, I picked up the first 12 issues of Alarums & Excursions from 1975, the first D&D APAzine, which was basically the "gaming forums" of its day, and in those you read people calling out other people's gaming styles as "badwrongfun." And nobody knew what they hell they were doing! That was kind of the point!
EDIT: It occurred to me to link to Lee Gold's page where you can order back issues of A&E: ALARUMS AND EXCURSIONS (updated July 2021)
