My only question... why?

I guess the McCain camp is saying "thanks for supporting the troops, Troll Lord Games!"

Yeah, "Dungeons & Dragons crowd" as a disparaging term doesn't work with me. Using D&D as a negative is so 1985. In today's crowd is should used with pride for smart people who read and are future leaders of this county... you dolts.

D&D folks are generally more literate and well read than the average. An education is a threat to national security! ^_~`

Yes. Educated masses are unwilling to be hogtied into submission -- they oppose tyranny and often, are willing to fight for freedom... because their books are being taken away. Me, I'm voting for Anarchy this year. One can hope.

That staffer is a moron. That's a colossally stupid thing to say, no matter whose side you're on.

Having said that, the ONLY reason this thread still exists for viewing is because I want to use it to make a point.

I'm going to enforce a pretty strict anti-politics rule in the coming months. I will post it as an announcement for all to see.
