So I am sorry you feel the way you do Traveller, but I don't think I am in the wrong here. So if its important enough to you to limit your visits to this board even more, thats your choice. Its my choice not to censor myself because you can't get past something that happened years ago, with posters I don't even know, and didn't even come from the creator/owners of OSRIC.
Now if you tell me that papersandpaychecks, or one of the others involved in creating OSRIC were one of the rude participants, then I will reconsider.
But until then your insisting on censoring me over an issue that you can't get over is too much. Sorry if that angers you, but your desire to censor me angers me. So if one of us has to be angry it may as well be you, since you still insist on being angry about events from about 4 years ago.
I wish you well and I hope you get past this some day.
Papersandpaychecks
Semaj
Axe Mental
Ska
T. Foster
Premier (the buffoon on Dragonsfoot who laid that threat on the table).
Each and every last one of them were involved in the personal attacks. There are likely a few more who I can't remember, though I could take a look at Knights & Knaves Alehouse and give you a list. They all hole up there. Axe and Ska's history are both well known, since both of them attacked Castles & Crusades in its formative stages because the game was not going to be AD&D reprinted. Additionally, both of them attacked Peter because his artwork wasn't of the same style as the artwork in the AD&D books. They turned the AD&D books into religious tomes, proclaiming those who did not accept the words of Gary in those books as gospel as heretics.
I know my part in the whole fiasco as I was one of those who shipped the OSRIC documents to Wizards of the Coast, claiming the material infringes on their IP. I am to this date convinced this is the case, comments by the authors notwithstanding. The thread where this all exploded first should still be on Dragonsfoot since I specifically requested it not be deleted in order to demonstrate just how out of touch with reality these people are. I also requested it be left up in order to demonstrate Papersandpaychecks lack of action in persuading his fanbase to stop. He had an opportunity to defuse the situation himself. He failed, and in fact participated.
It isn't my board, but I have no problem insisting upon a ban on OSRIC discussion. I have very good reasons in insisting upon such a ban. But why bother saying anything since you don't give a damn about the feelings of anyone else in regards to this matter? The lack of respect is unexpected from you as well as disgusting.
Oh, and yes, I feel that strongly about this matter that I can and (likely) will sever any and all contact with this message board and these people that I have spent years fraternizing with. I have drawn the line, and I am honor bound to enforce it.
