So why is it that my fiancee always tells me to grow up? ;-)

I've been on both of the Warhammer 40K lists and they are like the lists
described.  Obnoxious and intolerant people rule those two lists (my
apologies to anyone here who is on them, but that was the impression I
got).
I told people I liked the basic infantry for my army (Imperial Guard)
and
that I thought the characters and tanks were a waste of time and then I
got
several very abrupt replies that if I liked them so much, then it was no
wonder that I lost so often (50% of the time).	And they regularly broke
out
into huge flame wars over very trivial things and in the end the only
reason
you knew what a thread was actually about was because of the subject
line.
Some of the messages were VERY rude.

But I love this list and I really loved the Epic Space Marine list
before
the release of Epic97.	That was great list to be on.  More like a chat
line
than a gamer's mailing list. <Sigh>
