Bye. Sorry, but I cannot continue with anyone who values personal experience (anecdotal to anyone else) above many years of valid research. People with closed minds cannot be reasoned with, so I will not try. Your response to your experience with gaming is not universal. That would be like me saying that my appreciation of spicy foods should be what everyone should experience, and that people who claim not to like it don’t exist.

As for the courtroom attempt (it was not successful) I covered that and later interview the guy involved. He said he dozed off at the wheel, woke suddenly and thought for a few seconds that he was playing a game where you could ram other cars off the road. I believed him, and he went on to attempt to have such gamed banned or restricted. Again unsuccessfully.

I have also interviewed family members of ISIS recruits — people who were NOT Muslim, but had a long history of FPS games. It makes sense to me, and you decrying it doesn’t change my mind.

Discussion over. No hard feelings — I don’t hold grudges and I do not expect everyone to think as I do.
