Why should you let anyone tell you how to run your campaign.  The folks
at TSR offer a product, not a religion.  If you allow small-minded
people who have the "Not Official D&D" syndrome to participate in the
enjoyment of a work of art that you have spent time and resources bringing
to them, then you deserve just what you get: C--P.  Anyone who has
played in FRP games any length of time knows that it takes the combination
of good scenerio creation, good refereeing and good playing to have
a truly terrific time.  Good players usually have tried to create
and referee games before, and they know and appreciate the work that
a good referee puts into his/her game (yes, I have played with some fine 
female referees too).  If you put great care into the design
and refereeing of your game you should put great care into finding
the group of people which will most enjoy you game with you.  If you're
not playing FRPs in order to have fun, of course, you can ignore
this premise. (I have observed some referees who have convinced me by
their actions that the only reason the bothe is to fulfill certain
sadomasochistic tedencies.)
