I'm surprised you don't remember Brett, for much of the time period of
my posting I considered him the most significant Drama style poster
here although he rejected the threefold concept itself.
Our differing memories are lIkely due to a difference of perception,
perhaps caused by bias (including myself in there). I can't really
recall any posters of significance who were both pro-drama and pro-
threefold, at least any that lasted any time. Same with gamism. Best
case was those who didn't strongly care enough to take much of a side.
But that was a long time ago, and even my memory is fuzzy.

I'm of the opinion that one could agree with that (as I do), and yet
strongly disagree with the details of the Threefold.

While there are clear examples of those who fit this profile, I'm
going to have to disagree as far as a blanket statement. For one, I
object to the model and I certainly believe people have different
preferences. Further I knew some of the others who objected as well as
one can know someone online and have carried off-group exchanges with
them after the death of this group- your description does them a
disservice.
Further I think there are those people who would appear to match your
description, not because they do- but because they appear to because
they are unable to express their objections.

There were very few gamists to ever post here. As you've said before,
most are busy playing games instead. And most gamists are happy with
mainstreams rpgs like D&D and the like.
