A couple of co-workers and I were discussing the opening of a game store in the mall. The store primarily sells miniatures like Warhammer and the like. They both agreed that that these miniatures were evil and that neither of their kids would be allowed anywhere near that store. The likened the miniatures to D&D, which they said was responsible for suicides, sociopathic behaviour, etc. I wanted to tell them otherwise, as I am from a similar background yet have found that D&D is a great game despite all the negative “press” it gets in fundyland. but I didn’t. The conviction in their voices made me think that I would be wasting my breath so I didn’t even try.
I apologize.
Is the exit over there? It doesn’t seem to be marked.

I wouldn’t worry about it. What you were fighting in this instance wasn’t Ignorance, but Stupidity. Against Stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.
