[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 161715, member: 775"] Wow, this thread is still here! :) I did blame them at one time for their own actions. But doing so certainly didn't change the situation, so I ceased. Besides, feeding anger to the fire made it worse. If I blamed them verbally or otherwise that would have made them stronger in their convictions. I remember trying to convince them the game wasn't Satanic. They just would not listen. And they were doing enough blaming as it was. They blamed me for "cursing" their family. They blamed their son for letting "evil" into their house. They blamed each other. They told my friend's grandma who was recently widow that the strange noises in her home was caused by her husband's ghost being upside with her grandson playing D&D. I'M SERIOUS--THAT'S WHAT THEY DID!!! It was terrifying to watch and hear about the methods they would use to try to get rid of D&D in their lives. At one point my mother actually considered suing for custody of their son it was getting so bad. So it wouldn't have done any good to blame them. To do so would sink to their level. If any good came out of that situation it was learned first-hand what destruction extreme willful ignorance, mixed with fear and unaccountablilty, can bring. I hope (and pray!) that I'll never sink to that level. Ulrick [/QUOTE]
