[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6120905, member: 1"] Well, with all due respect, we don't know you. That's not an argument! I met you for roughly 0.5 seconds at Dragonmeet in December. Whether or not we know you is not relevent here, and certainly not to be portrayed as any kind of qualification for validification. Abosolutely; I get that. It's clear you feel that way. I don't feel that way. We just seem to be in a "yes it is", "no it isn't" to-and-fro here. I reject that parallel. Sorry, man. One isn't born a geek; one isn't legally discriminated against for being a geek; one isn't denied marriage for being a geek; one isn't jailed for practicing geekdom (as was the case here 30 years ago). It's not even remotely comparable. And also - as I mentioned earlier - this is n[I]ot an appropriate subject f[/I]or EN World. You've repeated twice that we don't know you; but you need to know us: for over a decade discussion of real world politics, religion, and - yes - sexuality are absolutely not allowed here. If that's an issue for you, email me, but please be aware of that strict rule. Those subjects inevitably lead to arguments and display sides of other gamers we'd rather not see. [I]Nobody [/I]thinks Sheldon is real. Like nobody thinks Baldrick is real. C'mon, man, you know this. You [I]have[/I] to know this. Plus, y'know, David Tennant as the Doctor running round wearing 1980s 3D glasses and solving problems without violence and familiar to[I] every single living person in [/I]the country in which you live. But you've deemed that [I]Doctor Who [/I]doesn't count for some odd reason. But [I]Bones[/I] does. Honestly, no. Not really. Sorry! [/QUOTE]
