In other words, you can tell the people-who-like-to-play-strategy-games from
people-who-want-to-roleplay-but-can't-seem-to-get-the-realworld vs
fantasyworld-relationship-consistently-down.

However, I can always tell the geek roleplayers from the wargamers b/c the
geek roleplayers can't understand the wargamers' reasons for playing, and
then try to foist their vision of the game onto everybody else. That is why,
of course, I make fun of Greg. he can call himself whatever he wants; just
don't expect me to play his name game.

PS. How nice that you can distinguish between the soulless and the soulful.
Sounds very godlike of you. It must be similar to my ability to distinguish
between roleplay-geeks and roleplay-nongeeks.
