[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 228967, member: 259"] First, Katerak, I think labels are useful not so much as a tool for stereotping as they are as a tool for figuring out which folks you want to game with. I know right away that if someone describes their game as hackenslash (or themselves as a dice-jock), I probably will hate playing in their game, and they'd probably hate my being there. The label helps us avoid annoying one another. With music, I know that I tend to like classical, don't mind jazz, enjoy New Romantic (mostly), and hate almost all heavy metal I've heard. These labels help me choose my music just as game labels help me choose my fellow gamers. of course, they're not alway accurate, and if a friend of mine tells me there's a heavy metal band I'd like, I'll listen to it. But I'm not gonna give up this useful descriptive tool just because a fellow dork doesn't like me using it. Daniel [/QUOTE]
