[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8338194, member: 16814"] No, because I didn't conflate them. I said that playstyle has nothing to do with why I am making the arguments I'm making because you accused me of doing so. I then put in a paragraph break -- like the one immediately above -- to indicate a change in thought, and discussed exactly why I feel there needs to be a change in the traditional conception of the GM's position re: social contracts. This is an independent thought from playstyles, but I'll say it again -- playstyle has nothing to do with it. As for thinking people arguing for the status quo instead of moving to a situation where we actually treat each other as peers, yes, I do think that move is in a positive direction for the hobby. Disagreeing with me doesn't mean you don't want that, though, and I didn't say that. I said why I wanted the move. You can have any number of reasons for not wanting to move -- as I said, it's no big, we're not policing each other's tables. But, as I also said, that doesn't mean I'm not going to advocate for a change I think is a good improvement to the hobby as a whole. And that move is treating people like adults, really, so I'm not that fearful of any opprobrium I receive for advocating we treat others like adults. Sure, happy gaming! [/QUOTE]
