If you need someone to appreciate the details or it rubs you the wrong way... maybe you did it for the wrong reason to start with? Things like cabinet protectors, cliffy's, etc.. they're just to protect the game man.
Unless people start disrespecting you or abusing your stuff... just roll with it if they don't share your passions. If they get some pleasure from it... awesome... but don't let it wind you up if the guest gets facinated with bashing the toy in the game over and over even tho it's not the best scoring strategy.
This is like people getting their panties wound up because someone shows up on the golf course with a department store set of clubs and shoes.
