eerrrr well no that's not what I meant, but I suppose it does cut both ways, doesn't it... except that my comment was in NO WAY WHATSOEVER intended about RRrrorrry, who in my opinion has over the years been *consistently* open-minded and generous towards people -- which is of course *exactly* why his resignation is so disturbing, isn't it ; and why it was you know, perhaps a teensy-weensy itsy-bitsy teh stoopid to make some cleverclogs disdainful satire about it...
I was referring to people ("fans") fucking about with members of the production team(s), or with people who have been or who might again one day be members of this/those team(s).
But yeah, antagonising the "fans" (for want of a better word -- maybe "outsiders" ??) is also not conducive to these being motivated to get their own fingers out of their arses and *do* something constructive towards the whole edifice, is it ?
So what -- are we falling into the same bloody old elitist trap again, with the people on the "inside" and those on the "outside" feeling at odds with each other ? Or is it just Greg back in control freak mode again (every time he does that, production grinds to a halt, despite anyone's best efforts behind the scenes) ? Or has someone else picked up Steve Martin's viceregal control freak crown (and unlike some other people here, I am NOT a Steve-basher, he just had his faults like the rest of us -- *if* a vast and encyclopaedic knowledge of Glorantha can be considered a fault -- or is it still beer'n'pretzels mode up at Issaries Inc. ???) ?
I dunno, but something definitely gang astray in the Kingdom of Glorantha doesn't it, or there wouldn't be all these bloody posts in bloody IGQ to complain about things would there ?
NOT that anyone seems to be building bridges far as I can tell, burning them down seems to be flavour of the day...
Pavis brūle-t-il ?
