That's something else I've noticed in this day and age: The
downright
hostility toward hobbies of anykind. Gamers like ourselves, stamp
collectors, models builders, amatuer historians, fly fishers, and other
esoteric pursuits have probably heard the phrase "get a life" more than
once. Just what, pray tell, I am SUPPOSED to be doing when I'm not
sleeping
or working to fed, clothe, and shelter myself?

Consider this: someone who is passionate about their chosen recreation,
who
goes out every weekend to get together with a group of friends who are
also
passionate about the same recreation, who collect information and do
research and have vocal discussions/arguments with people of opposing
views,
who spend lots of money following their recreation, and enjoy it
immensely.
What am I talking about? No, not a gamer. YI'm talking about your
average
sports fan.
Think about that.
