And I'm not sure that I understand what he meant. It's possible that we're talking past each other entirely.
I think that might be the case.
Then again, if I say, "I don't like X, Y and Z" with no reference to D&D until asked at all, then it's not my fault if someone assumed that X, Y and Z are integral and mandated by D&D when in fact that's not the case at all and never has been. If I've been misunderstood, it's because unwarranted assumptions have been... well, assumed.
If you say, "I don't like X, Y and Z" with no reference to D&D, then it's not your fault if someone assumed that X, Y and Z are integral and mandated by D&D. As soon as you link your dislike of X, Y, and Z to D&D (or vice versa) it is not a simple assumption that they are linked.
But, as you indicated, I think that you are talking past each other.
