Maybe a stance that doesn't depend at all on psychology but rather on divergent belief systems. Religion fighting over who is right is a very old practice. The crusades are an example as is the spanish inquisition and the witch hunts of salem. Get into divergent theories of gods between religion and D&D. Although I think that main basis for prejudice against games cannot be adaquatly explained by a gamer because it it the same as the basis of all prejudice. Ignorance builds hatred build ignorance builds hatred. Sit down with your average KKK member and ask them how many blacks, jews, etc. they have personally known and of those they have actually known how many would they clump into the classification with those they do not know. It's the same with antigamers. Four times I have had the opportunity of talking an antigamer into sitting at my table for a session. 1 of them became a players, 1 is now a gaming advocate, 1 has become indifferent on the matter and 1 is still antigaming (but this guys character died I think that could have something to do with it.)</p></blockquote><p></p>
