I'll go out on a limb and say that the two things are not mutually
exclusive. Supporting social playing is different from forcing it.

It's that kind of comment which reinforces my original
statement. You guys will be blown away because you don't think it is
possible. It is. There is this weird extroverted elitism going on
here which I just find weird. I'm not saying introspective behavior
is superior, just valid - and I can't believe I have to argue for
even that little.
