Jesus fuck. How did you follow that post @stevensw? It went from spicy soup to jazz music to Monopoly pieces and made no sense to me at all.

The same way I get through Angry's articles where he regularly compares gaming to jumping Dolphins, etc. it's just so shittastic I have to know where it is going. And sometimes I find some really cool ideas. Not this time mind you. But sometimes.
Seriously though. There is a Bill Cosby element to it. Random shit gets spewed, then you wait to see if it all comes together or not. And that's what the reading is all about, YOU SEE!

TLDR for Cowboys post: he is traditional acting to your method acting (in his mind). His way of doing it is better (in his mind), and your kind suck (in his mind). P.S. How dare you be different from him!? He doesn't like people not like him who play different. *Insert terradactyl screach here* See what he did there? He took "**CENSORED**" from a definition of every GM equal to another and replaced it by slapping a RAW ultimatum yardstick on to it. Maybe he hopes more people will read his Cliff Notes than the original, TL:DR. Now, that is a dick-ish thing to do, some might say; but he is an honourable man amongst honourable men.

Yet, you guys will read volumous rulebooks stacked higher than a GM's screen.... Not sure if I am insulted or complimented to be honest. This is supposed to be a social hobby. Yet that's TLDR.

Yet, you guys will read volumous rulebooks stacked higher than a GM's screen.... The difference is that I can put the rule books down and they won't jump back up and keep shoving themselves in my face. For as long as I've been involved with Happy Jacks you just keep jumping back up and shoving your **CENSORED** stuff into people's faces when they've made it obvious it's not their thing. You say this should be a social hobby, but you're not taking the social clues, hell, the social clue-by-fours that people are giving you to back off. So, you know, just as some constructive feedback, maybe you should lay off the **CENSORED** stuff. Even if you have a different gaming philosophy than everyone else here, I'm sure there's something else you can talk about. We're quite an eclectic group.

Reminds me of bad GMing to be honest;, the time my character had a whole adventure between games when no one but the GM was there just to make sure the party was back together so the scheduled game would go smoothly. It was like reading fanfiction about my own fictional character. Sort of like reading posts here that twist what I am saying actually..... You do realise I am responding to someone on this topic - and I am correcting some disinformation while I am visiting. How about you and they be socialable and live and let live? Wouldn't that be more "sociable" than verbally bullying one person? (I call that abuse) Or just be honest enough, with yourself and others, to say this is an elitist hobby club board and I have no business being here, since I am not an elitist.

Yes, a very wise move . . . believe me, even if you enjoy the art of rhetorical argument or playing devil's advocate, this 'particular discourse' is a very different beast altogether: it's more like Sisyphus with his stone . . . and all the while Hades laughs . . .

(I am so going to regret this) Right so, Plato's Cave . . . you grow up strapped to chair in a cave watching reflections of the outside world and that becomes your reality. Then someone comes in from outside and cuts you free and shows you the world, first hand, that you have only ever experienced as a reflection; do you: a) embrace the change and modify your understanding of your reality to include this new information and run free in the sunlight . . . until some cunt called Descarte comes along and fuck's it all up for you again? or b) run screaming back to your cave denying the evidence of your own eyes and the existence of the person who set you free, rationalizing what you briefly saw and experienced so that it remains consistent (though not necessarily logical) with your chosen reality vis-a-vis reflections on the wall . . . until some cunt called Heidigger comes along and fuck's it all up for you again? CC be more A and less B (because Cognitive Dissonance is a bitch) Aaron

I guess my comment about not being able to make sense of your post pissed you off CreativeCowboy. That explains why I woke up to Angry GM calling me a "one true wayist $#&T head" in my Twitter mentions this morning after you Tweeted him my "Angry? Feh" post on the previous page. (Side note: I didn't know that people who have blocked you can still @ mention you on Twitter.) To be perfectly honest, I read your soup-jazz-Monopoly post. All of it. And I didn't get it. Which I think it part of the point. I get the distinct feeling you write your massive, six-page posts so that you can feel intellectually superior to the people, like me, who don't get what you're saying.
