Sharpen your wit and prepare to do battle with the unarmed!
Is that a Lemming original? Because I'd like to honor that with a place in my quotes file.

Back to the Nalia idea again. Why should only the small gaming communities have it great?
I'm staring at this agape right now. You make it sound like it's some sort of special privilege!
Why are small communities great? Because they *make* it great. Because you can control quality by choosing who you'll game with. Public games are open to everyone. Unless you can add some sort of idiot barrier to prevent them from accessing Bnet, you can't keep them out of public games.
Or should public games be whatever cesspool the gamers inside make them to be and the small gaming communities keep their values small-scale?
Are you blaming small communities for not mixing with the idiots? Are you blaming them for not doing enough to breed a new brand of caring idiot who's genuinely concerned about the fun of his fellow playesr?
Good private games have nothing to do with public games sucking. There is no injustice here, Ms. de'Arnise. What you're seeing is the result of filtering idiots versus mixing with them (private vs public games). There's absolutely no way a small quantity of gamers can make the masses of idiot Bnet play with a concern for the fun of their peers. Well, not unless you...
