Are quirks officially counted as disadvantages?

This is rude. I always use disad limits, yet:

1) I have a great GM-player dynamic.
2) I am not antagonistic towards my players
3) Have never had a Munchkin player give me problems with disads
4) I always look at and approve submitted characters.

So, either you are calling me a liar--which is rude...or you are making sweeping generalizations wherein you treat your biases as objective reality. Also rude.

Why can't you just say something like, "The question of whether Quirks count as disads doesn't apply to my games because I don't use disad limits. I don't use disad limits because *insert positive, non-judgemntal statement about your preferred method.* Why do you have to turn this into, "People who use disad limits are bad GMs."

I don't say you are a bad GM because you don't use limits.
