Back in the 80's and early 90's, especially when I was growing up in rural areas, gamers were few in number. So few, that we'd all game with anyone who was willing. It didn't matter how odious they or their habits were, or how much you hated their personal politics. When there's 4 gamers within a 20 mile radius of you, you can't afford to be picky.
Nowadays, I don't put up with that stuff. And, unless you're out in the boondocks, no one else has to either. Gamers are everywhere. Game stores are everywhere. Now we get to be elitist snobs if we want to. And I find my standards go up with every campaign.
(And if you haven't figured out the secret to finding gamers in your area, it's this - hang out at game stores. Find out what days they get new products in, and kill a few hours there and then.)
