For example, I can be cripplingly antisocial (although that's gotten better) and becoming someone else for awhile gives me a good way to meet people and get to know them. Plus, like you say... gaming is a fun environment that's usually fairly relaxed, and where a good time can be had by all.
Of course, if I have the opportunity to nuke a nest of baatezu by breaking the game mechanics in my favor for humor, I'll do it, and can be a horrible rules nazi (I like structure). But I like to have fun, get people working. Hell, I can be a good walk in protagonist in a LARP; just give me a silver shovel, some glass bottles, a sock, and a gas can. Hilarity.
Meanwhile, I've had to resort to using a UFC "pajama party" to hopefully meet people in this town. "Pajama party" and "combat controllers" didn't go easily into my head, but evidently it happens....

How D&D the cartoon makes you think this way.
The interesting part is how the "parent's groups" were involved, and looking back it does seem to be a recurring theme of the times. It really doesn't have that much to do with you're post (play because it's fun, or run because it's fun, but don't if neither are because you have limited time in life to have fun) but like I said, was tangentially related. (Am I even using that word correctly? I need coffee...)
