Don't like it? Tough.
Elitism, or why certain people aren't wanted at the RP barbeque and why we don't give a damn if that means we need to lace our sauce with arsenic to keep them away.
Best part of her rant?
to everyone else: stop being so nice. Stop it. Seriously. BE a little more elitist. It's NOT TOO MUCH to expect your players to not only punctuate and use pretty words, but to be considerate of other players, or even, you know, funny, or awesome. Expect more. Look for more. You yourself will not become a better RPer surrounded by morons. You learn more and have more fun when you're surrounded by good, intelligent, witty RPers. I consider myself very lucky to have the group of RP-friends that I have now.
Read it, and rethink your own use of the word "elitist".
And on a more serious note, Kime talks about the JROTC, and is interested in hearing other people's opinions. Don't know what that is? Click the link. I haven't commented there yet, but that's because I'm trying to multitask at the moment since Savior named me his shopping guru.
That entry is currently f-locked. Apologies, everyone, I'll remove the strikes once it's open again. Instead of that, read about a horrific sexual assault case in Toronto. The OP claims that race is a factor, but what's getting to me more is the fact the victim-blaming being flung around, especially considering how long the abuse apparently lasted for.

*hugs back* You're welcome. I figured you weren't aware of that, so I thought it best to point it out - just in case ^_^

That was a nice rant.

Being elitist isn't a bad thing, either. It means you have standards, like pretty much everyone out there. Would you want to play baseball on a team with a five-year-old kid every single day if you're in your teens? No. Of course. Maybe a few times because kids are cute, but not continualy as part of something you take seriously. So why yell "ELITIST!" when even normal teams are separated by age and ability?
