Just for the record, I didn't make the original post because I agree with the article. Quite the opposite actually, I just couldn't believe someone would blame a game, (D&D) for such actions. Having read some of the posts, I see it makes perfect sense, people are always trying to blame someone/something else for their own shortcomings.
If people have trouble telling the difference between fantasy and reality then as far as I can tell it is them that is the problem, not the game/music or whatever.
I found it quite ironic that BADD turned out to be nothing but a bunch of mind manipulators, exactly what claim D&D is guilty of doing. It seems if you were to follow the thinking of BADD, someone like Stephen King, (the author) would be a mass murderer.
