That.... is ALMOST as bad as calling it "babysitting". Just a thought.... :/

While yes, a degree of hazing maybe a part of joining any community / group. You being an older veteran gamer hold a degree of ummm.... what is a good word? Hero worship? respect? Among the newer players... the "kids". Even older players... adults new to the Austin gaming community like myself take a step back and second glance at joining the group when such negative energy is displayed. :/

Not saying it is a bad thing. Just saying in large doses it can be just as destructive to bringing in new people as the prices, and other insanity GW produces to it's products. Also not saying we need to get all hearts and flowers politically correct about things either.

Oh look my Predator is ready for more paint.... 8)
