I am one of the blessed who happened upon some really cool people yesterday - one of which was an actual girl, can you imagine? :) - so I can't complain about the pubbie sewage with my usual vigor. There are people out there worth meeting, I must say.
That said, one of my favs from my hours of play was something like:
(In the Arreat Plateau)
him "What are we looking for again?"
me "The Crys passage"
him "I know, but I've always gotten rushed before now. What does it look like?"
me (sigh) "A cave entrance. With snow."
---which isn't all that bad, I know. The thing that really kills me are names like "nigg-killa" (actual name, can you freaking believe it?).
That stuff just makes me want to give up and go live in the woods. Its just the saddest thing ever that people out there, especially kids, feel so unempowered that they need racism to make themselves feel stronger. If that's even the case.... who knows.
Something to live by though, which is our only hope against such thinking:
