All your points are true and valid. There's a line
however.
I'm sure wilderside dosen't go around inciting confrontations with
people, over hobbies. Unlike some of your buddies. If you can
realise that and correct that, then that would be beneficial for
the ID community. Instead of making excuses like you are you, he is
he, and I am I. We are like snowflakes, all different, but that is
no reason to start confrontations over a game!
I suggest you talk to your buddies. They are acting like spoilt
brats and saying it's because 'that is me and I can't change it',
then that is the wrong attitude. In fact, it's an attitude of pure
denial.
