Quote from: Levi KornelsenI have respect for people thinking about games.  For people examining their play and telling other people what they found, which in turn helps other people get better play.  For folks looking at games as abstractions.

I have no respect for folks that decide to engage in long semantic debates when they know damn well what you're talking about.  I have no respect at all for people that snark at others simply because those others don't know a bunch of artificial words, no matter how useful those words have proven to some.  I despise not being able to tell those situations apart sometimes.

The theory we have right now, including mine, is a giant mishmash of stating the so-obvious-it's-usually-invisible, of brilliant ideas, stupid sacred cows, and filler.
