SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

No, Gary wasn't a sexismist

Thanks, jhkim. It appears from some of the other comments that this was part of an ongoing conversation, and some of them suggest that the opening from "Mr. Greene's lady friend" wasn't exactly complimentary to wargamers. I unfortunately don't have time right now to delve into this, but it seems to suggest my initial assessment--this was Gygax being defensive and nastily sarcastic--was right about the first part of his reply, although he comes across as more hostile to 'women in gaming' due to bad personal experiences in the second part of it.

Quote from: El-V on July 15, 2024, 06:40:13 AMYou wouldn't get that today, but I am sure those players went home and were perfectly decent after the con. Its not like  pushing toy soldiers around a sandbox led to organised chapters of the Schutzstaffel growing in the US.

The current wave of Moral Guardians push that playing as something really does make you that thing. These nutcases can not tell reality from fantasy.
