You see, anonymous fellow who wrote that heretical few paragraphs? You see how they retreat from what we say, into the motte that only vaguely resembles what you argued, into a crude admixture of insults and aspersions of character and theatrical humility, at the slightest pushback? Reality means nothing to these people. What you say means nothing to these people. You are so much sound and fury, signifying nothing, to them.

This game and its community have done you a valuable service by exposing you to such things, in a context that lacks any real severity, just as they and so many other of their ilk amidst the fandoms have long since done for me. See how the serfs work the ground. See how they fall. See how the brain plays around. Remember what you've seen there, in that time and that place, and you will not stop seeing it.
