seems a strange thing to say in defence of scripted game. It would work better as an argument for not using scripted game

I thinking you get my point in principal, but I was trying to get across was that I would rather for now stick to the canned stuff so I don't have to have an extra thing to worry about when approaching. Canned stuff tries to lead the conversation initially so you can get to the beyond the bullshit defences to get the real conversation. I don't see a problem with that. Natural requires a great level of thinking-on-your-feet skill and approach confidence that I just don't have at the moment. So canned material seems like a temporary solution until I do...

If the whole argument for scripted rests on overcoming a feeling that you should cherish, a feeling you 1. should not and 2. cannot overcome.

Remember... I said I am trying to become comfortable with the feeling. And this feeling is so strong that I don't even make the approach; it's not one that I personally cherish (for now). We all the know, the more things you have to think about then the harder it is to approach (Hick's Law). This is where I agree with Hustler's argument for using canned material as a crutch. But we'll see.

This makes me realise that you are just defending your position rather than engaging in a discussion aimed at discovering a truth.

No mate, you have me totally wrong. I am. 100%. I'm just giving you my (very limited) point of view. Aren't we all defending a position? That's what make these conversations awesome!

There is too much of this going around from people who claim to be searching for something greater. People are looking. They are shown. They are not ready. They resist. Standard.

Frustrating I know. I'm an awesome programmer. I manage a team of 8 programmers. It's frustrates me when they don't do as I say as I know it's the right way... but sometimes I let them smash there head against a problem until they are ready to hear the answer. But I realise that they have to go through that to really understand the solution.
I found that the 'Be yourself' answer not good enough for me right now. I've tried it and failed so many times (10 years) that it's time to try something different for a while.
