Rob cited a specific email where I referenced a few Greek and Roman sources and complained I was making things too Classical. Now I offer to use the sources Greg cites in RQ2 and Rob again bitches. Rob doth protest too much, methinks.

So you are going to ignore Greg's background material? And then bitch and moan about something you haven't read? Because you think it contradicts an impression given in RQ3?

OK, so you generally want to ignore the background fiction of Greg Stafford and just want us to write answers written in game speech so that it can be spoon fed to you in easy to digest form.

OK, so you've read that. And somehow that is incompatible with History of the Heortling People or anything else I've worked on?

You've just admitted you haven't read any of the stuff I've worked on (other than Orlmarthing and ToDP - which you liked) and yet have come to that conclusion? Amazing.
