If it hadnt been wargaming they would have no doubt joined a political party where their strangeness would be seen as an asset. Personally all my wargaming life I have had a fear that one of the socially inept would somehow latch onto me and embarrass me at some social event. A bit like the looney on the bus does.

Look remember like most hobbies we suffer from the socially inept whose lives are so dismal that they can only get their jollies by being fatuous or nasty- it gives them a thrill of power in the otherwise dismal calender of hours.<br /> Have a little pity !!!

Its a testimony to how tolerant we as a society have become, because there was a time he would have been carried to the toilets and had his head shoved down the loo, now theres a thought.

However I remember a couple of years after that incident he tipped up at a wargames show decked out as an 'officer' in some English Napoleonic regiment. The problem was he looked like a strong wind would have knocked him over, he also had the annoying habit of dragging his sword along the ground a la hussar! Twat!
