When disagreeing…

But you're so avuncular. How do you behave in bars?
If someone started arguing with me in a bar the way I get argued with here sometimes, the language used in my response would most certainly not be as civil as what I post here...nor perhaps as coherent, depending how long I'd already been in said bar. :)

A fine example of that was the one time I sprang for a VIP ticket to GenCon (can't remember now if 2009 or 2011), there was a meet-and-greet for the VIPs that involved lots of beer and, eventually, lots of yelling: five of us standing around a tall table, two vehement 3e supporters, two vehement 4e supporters, and me, banging away supporting 1e as best I could while telling all four of 'em they were nuts.

At one point Peter Adkison (then - and still? - owner of GenCon) stopped by, listened for about ten seconds, and backed away very slowly, I think hoping none of us had noticed him.

I don't think I could post a single verbatim sentence here of what was said that night by anyone without getting red text for all the naughty words, but man was it ever fun at the time! :)
