LiveFreeX, don't feel bad about what you did. You SHOULD open your mouth, but if the blue pill guy isn't open-minded, then just drop it and move on. I do think part if it is presentation. People don't like to be told what they've thought and believed and done all their lives is nonsense. It's a blow to the ego. So you might use a little more finesse next time you try to convert.
And don't think of it as converting, really, or "religion." Game is science. There may be some zealots and shuysters who play with the facts and sell snake oil. But the data exists and you either accept the existence of the data or you pull the wool over your eyes. It's always sad when a man chooses ignorance.
