"argaming has always been a 'Hole In The Wall' for dreamers and misfits. We sort of collected together, drawn by some unseen force and created a new 'normal' in new and exciting world. Who and what we were in the 'real world' meant absolutely nothing.

These days it seems as if being a misfit is more important than the hobby itself, a cult of geek personality being waved and projected like a rainbow banner. I don't believe that this is the way it should be…"

Copy the link and change the third "e" (the first one of the "ee") into a g, and it works.

In the OP, the censor is blocking a prohibited word in the link. I don't know what happened in the second link. Mistyped?

FWIW, I would have guessed a different bleeped word.

Yay! Got there after ignoring half of etotheipi's advice the first time! Interesting article, and looking back, there is a lot of truth in it, even if my childhood in central Kansas was totally different. My gaming friend and I grew up to be at totally different ends of the political spectrum, but we were still friends.
