Dr. Phil - My Response

I should have just posted this as a reply to TDrag's blog, but this stuff really gets under my skin when we get discriminated against like this.

My response to Dr. Phil (posted through the link on Tara's blog)

The show on video games caused quite a stir in our little community. We call ourselves "2old2play" and we are an online family of older gamers.

Our members help each other through the hardest things in our lives and support each other. Far from playing "murder simulators", we share video games the same way other people play basketball, baseball or football.

We raise our kids the same way other people raise their kids. Yes, our kids are probably far more competitive at video games than the average kid because of our disposition but that has no bearing on what we call the "RL" or Real Life.

I encourage you and your staff to broaden your knowledge of video gaming by exploring the families that are created by these online communities. I have met some lifelong friends through videogames, friends that have made me a better person and continue to challenge me to be more than I am.

Warm Regards,
