Subject: A message from the longest active player in the InsideTheWeb/Voy board RPG community...

Madame:

I have been playing on message board RPGs since I was 7 years old. For half my lifetime, I have been learning and growing along with other teens and preteens as we use somthing that, unfortunatly, many children no longer use- our imaginations.
Many of us, including myself, do not like our parents reading what we type, because, with all due respect, ma'am, they may not understand exactly <i>why</i> their child is playing wolves. Even I still feel this way, and I had settled this same arguement with my own mother at the age of nine years.
Perhaps you and your daughter should look through the site together. Then you'll understand that we aren't rebelling, we're exploring our own creativity in a healthy way. After all, wolves don't do drugs, they don't shoot each other down, or drop atomic bombs on each other, or many other horrible things that we humans tend to do. Would you rather have her experiance these things when she could be in Skoki?

And, as others have stated before I, RPGing is, indeed, an adaquate teacher of grammer, spelling, and the English language as a whole. What Role player wants to look foolish because of a mispelled word or incorrect grammer? Not I. Not many others who increase their writing abilites every day by simply pretending.
