What does D&D mean to you, personally?

Dear regulars.

D&D means a place where great minds (who not neccessarily think alike) meet to discuss everything under the sun.

Have noticed different ego's, their strengths and weaknesses. Seen people's buttons been pressed and others been humbled, humiliated, confused and some convinced.

Sometimes this is an arena and when debates and discussions turns into a battlefield, brace yourself. Anyway, to me this where my views changed. I made friends and have earned the respect of certain individuals. I've also met my mentor, my friend and fellow intellectual gladiators.
D&D is my AA meeting, my rehab and part of my home. What's you view.

Please NO making other people feel bad!

Tell me what D&D means to you?

When I talk of intellectual gladiators, I could mention a few respectable people.

This is people you also know: Jaybro for one, is level headed. The guy can't be called shallow! Dawgfan, although an atheist, is quite a guy! You must have a brain to argue with him! Macallan, for one, you must have established facts before reasoning with him. And rjhowie, the most influencial and charismatic. I don't know is it his maturity or the fact that he can be objective- a true irish man!

These people inspired the 'Keep it simple' signature.

Entertainment for the most part.
Sometimes I find out about something new.

I did, but she was young and foolish. Come to think of it, she was the only one I tried to sample. Sometimes I do not speak the complete truth.

Sometimes to learn new things, but mostly entertainment (not that the first isn't entertainment).
