[QUOTE="Wonger, post: 1654508, member: 17516"] Except when they're right. Take a step back for a moment and realize that this wonderful hobby of ours is unlike anything else (see my above posts). It is different, strange, and odd for an adult hobby - it's only been around for 30 years, and most of the activities people are comparing it to have been around for much, much longer and have exponentially wider fan bases. Maybe in another couple decades that will be different, but for now it is still strange and confusing to the populace. That doesn't mean you can't love it, talk about it, or even encourage others to give it a try, but don't get mad when others think it is weird. It IS wierd. There is nothing else like it - that's why 50 different gamers will give you 50 different answers if asked to explain the game, and they are all valid. Accept that, and you are on the path to enlightment and happy gaming. [/QUOTE]
