That wasn't my post you were paraphrasing, was it? If it was, you completely twisted it's meaning.

You have every right to express your opinion and we have every right to tell you why you are wrong.

Yes, I was comparing myself to people who do not play games regularly. I have no doubt that my skills in playing games are better. That doesn't mean my opinion about casual gamers is negative. It's just an attribute that doesn't have a stigma like skin color has. Let's take your eye color example:

If a brown eyed kid makes a comment about ugly blue eyed kids after the teacher has separated the two groups, he's out of line.

However, if a brown eyed kid makes a comment before the separation about blue eyed kids having blue eyes, he's only stating the obvious. Eye colour isn't something that is used to gauge people's worth as human beings, neither is skill in gaming.

Just because I think I can get head shots in Counter-Strike more often than people who haven't played it doesn't mean I harbour some negative feelings against those people.
