It's kinda preachy; sorry.This is as TLDR as I can make it:On our common ground, our Hobby, we have learned a lot. Nowadays we're inclusive. We work against harassment due to ethnicity, gender, and all else. Tabletop Hobby Gaming is Safe Space.Safe, with Full Equality. Religion, politics, and other Issues shouldn't be brought up in this environment. Folks disagree about a lot of things -- but at the Gaming Table we're Inclusive. We leave the baggage at the door.Baggage: #gamers4herI posted quietly that I opposed that. I feel I must speak louder.If you want more details on it, search for the hashtag (FB, G+, et al).Recently some folks got excited during the American election, and they made an error. (Please forgive them; it's been a rough season.) These are good people, smart people... but they lost sight of the Hobby's needs. They injected Politics into Hobby Gaming.I feel this is issue is Important to our entire brotherhood of Hobby Gaming. It's Global because the initiators made it so. (In fairness, they DID try to retract the worldwide part... like you can erase something from the internet, lol)I feel so strongly about the potential damage to Hobby Gaming that I must speak more loudly. And again I remind you that it's just the voice of one man."Equality is worth fighting for." -- George Takei -- #ImWithUsIn Gaming as well, I'm with Us. We. Together. Equal.Tear down this (psychological) wall. Reject the intrusion. Preserve the Safe Space.But try to Forgive the error.
