Well - you do realize that this is precisely my point, yes?
"I dislike members of group X because they all stereotype members of group Y."
If you're going to make blanket statements like that accusing a group of elitism you may as well be honest enough to admit that in the process you're doing pretty much the same thing.
I'm sure there are players in group X who do stereotype members of group Y - but there're also plenty of them who don't.
This is why stereotypes really have no place in reasoned discussion. If you're going to get up on a soapbox and disparage someone else for using them, do be careful that you aren't using them yourself.
I've heard that shoepolish doesn't have a very pleasant taste.
