Jim Chapin sez, after invoking a false analogy between non-hack&slash RPG scenarios and the "liberal" idea of the "moral equivalent of war":

Yeah, I should have thought of that. That's why no one buys any novels except sword and sorcery, or goes to see plays and movies that aren't filled with violence, or watches anything on TV other than the Power Rangers.

I almost didn't reply to Jim's post because of its cheap abuse of the L-word and its non-Gloranthan content. But it couldn't pass without challenge.
