This discussion is fastly becoming a brutal argument, with BOTH sides in
the wrong (hear that, Robert?).  Christine makes some valid points, but
she takes Robert's opinions as a personal attack upon her effectiveness as
a gamer.  Now, while Robert's original posting did have several one-sided
opinions that he stated as if they were facts (a mistake, Mr. Rainbow, you
should correct in the future, or you will quickly find that you have many
more enemies than friends), there is no indication that it is intented as
a personal attack upon ANYONE, just a summary of one person's opinions.
Mr. Rainbow's (I shall cease to refer to him by his first name.  It taints
mine) response is even worse than Christine's, however.  He takes Christine's
well-minded opinions and not only uses them as a personal attack against him,
tries to use this attack as a measure of her intelligence and personality.
He then avoids the points of discussion altogether and erupts into a
character assassination upon Christine, without Christine able to respond
and answer his criticisms.  That kind of action, Mr. Rainbow, is completely
uncalled for.  If you behave like that as a PC (or worse, a DM),  I have to 
agree with Christine; I don't want to meet you ever!  You are obviously the most
pig-headed and worst example of humanity I have ever met!  If Christine is
able to avoid responding to your notes with any respect more than utter
distain, I compliment her on her tolerance, because I have lost mine with
this joker.
