2 things:
1- When you spend so much time learning and adjusting your strategy to one particular style, people just don't want to have to learn something new all over again. I don't think it's a knock on the"new style" not being as good or better. It's just not familiar. Plus, people don't want to take their lumps as they learn a new style.
So...don't think that a hesitancy to try a new style is because someone doesn't like it or the creater of it. Nor should you define that person as being close-minded.
He may just be "comfortable" and happy with his current style of play without having to start over and learn something new from scratch.
2- When people do spend so much time and energy into creating a style, shouldn't it be expected that they will want to be proud of it and share it with everyone?? They shouldn't be admonished for trying to push "their" style on others. They are simply proud of something they created and simply want others to give it a try.
We take things too personally around here....on both sides of the argument.
If you take the time to take a step back and put yourself in the other's shoes....I believe you will see that all of our opinions, posts and actions are simply a reflection of how much we each love the hobby/game itself...and not a personal judgement on the other person we are debating with.
