All this "brain damage" crap
Cheese and Rice.
What a load of dingo's kidneys.
Look. Everything you do, everything you listen to, everything you read, everything you experience... it has an impact on your brain. Sometimes it's minor, sometimes it's major. Habits become ingrained, and sometimes ingrained habits can become addictions. You can be addicted to chemicals, thoughts, behaviors, and some people are more prone to them than others.
Sometimes these habits and addictions cause us to harm ourselves. They get in the way of living a normal life, or make us damage our health, or our relationships, or our finances. You could call these "brain damage" because they point to real harm.
But to say that someone is brain damaged because someone doesn't play a game the way YOU want them to play... or even to say that YOU can't play the way you want to play because of your habits and addictions... that's bullshit, and the whole Forge Diaspora Blogosphere seems to be running around saying how profound it is.
I guess the Forgeites really are as elitist as folks have said they are.
