[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7732455, member: 92239"] Passion is good. Delivery needs work. My personal beliefs.. 1. No one is disrespecting something by choosing to do something else insofar as no one is harmed doing so. The concept that metagamers are disrespecting conventional RPG is a bit rough if only due to what I fear would be significant damage to both hobbies if either side just went away. I have played quite a few systems in addition to D&D and I'm a better D&D DM because of it. Now if you have a specific "indie-hippie person" that's actively saying "I want to lead an inquisition against D&D with my friends who live in an autonomous collective that have decided D&D is inferior." I'll agree with you about them only. 2. "Hippie" is a label. Initially there was no negative connotation for about 50 years, but early in the 60's the term fell in with the drug culture due to popular media at the time. If you don't want labels to be interpreted badly on a forum community by someone who may not be favorably disposed to whatever argument you're making.. don't use em. Just opinions, nothing personal here. I like what you post generally. KB [/QUOTE]
