We don't share the same opinion about the genre either, but that doesn't hinder us to remain friends, right? Or am I mistaken?
No, you are not mistaken. I know you don't care for rps, and you know I am not interested in many of the LOTR arenas you are, and that has *not* been a problem between us. I have no problem with people having issues or strong feelings about rps or anything else, for that matter.
I did not like being told that rps is linked to stalking when I've never, ever seen or heard any such thing. I did not like the feeling it gave me, of being judged, and I didn't care for the way it was phrased at all. I can have strong feelings too. Having said that, I also did not wish to bring any tension to your haven, I have kept my rps hobby out of there b/c it has no place there, and because you aren't comfortable with the subject.
You know of the comment I referred to in my post, and I hope you can see why I felt the way I did. It's not something I'm angry over, but it irritated me, and it struck me as a bit silly seeing a blanket generalization coming from someone who seems to be like a very intelligent person.
This wasn't about you, it was about one comment made by someone else and my feeling about that. And the one reply I made was to answer someone else's questions about rps and held not a single whiff of rebuke. You might want to request that this subject be discussed off list if they wish to hopefully avoid any arguments.
