Might I point out a distinction you may both have overlooked; gleichman
originally said "There are things that are BadWrongFun in /gaming/."
Ed's reply a little later: "That's no longer /roleplaying/ and not even
worthy of discussion."
My emphasis.
Bearing in ming that one can play an RPG without roleplaying (although
most
people here would consider that either rather pointless, or at best
'playing
badly'), are you two quite sure you're not just getting wound up over an
overlooked semantic difference?
Given that I /do/ draw a distinction between 'gaming' and 'roleplaying', I
think you're both right.
