Which raised the quality of participation and conversation (and roleplaying games).

This was “elitist” of course, and nowadays I’d probably be called classist, privileged, and a few other things. But it was also true.

I’ve reduced my participation in a number of online forums because they’ve basically been taken over by SJWs.
