>I said that most of the time, groups like this create a big hoopla because they seek special treatment.

Translation: I'm trying to avoid admitting that I was trying to make the same facetious argument made whenever somebody is protesting discrimination.

Sorry Knob, but you can hear your words all the time when this kind of subject comes up, and it's not a good argument. It's a bad one, because it's a generalization used to tar the people protesting as just trouble-makers out for an advantage.

It might help sell your cause to those who think like you do, but it doesn't serve as good reasoning.

>And as Randy commented a few posts down, I play this game to enjoy the Warcraft universe and to play my character, not to deal with others' real-life issues.

Me too. This is why I'd prefer people NOT bring their real-life obscenities and harassment into the game. My ignore list is only so long.
