I havent bought a console in 7 years until 4 days ago. I bought a Wii...and guess what....Me, my wife, my 5 year old and 4 year old have sat down everynight to play together. It's a blast. So his following comment is just plain absurd...the fact is we are siting down to play (board games as well) "You don't see mom and dad, sister and brother, sitting down like they used to play, say, Monopoly," WOW, he doesnt have a clue.

Sure, you my not agree with him (I only partly agree with him), but to take it as a personal affront is maybe taking it a bit too far. Rather than focussing on what he said and his own patchy history, maybe we sould just continue focussing on proving him wrong.
