Flaming on the Digest

Being on the end of the most heated flaming on the digest recently
(courteous of Nick Brooke), I would like to put my two cents in. Those who
are afraid to post to the digest, don't be. It comes with the territory. Everything that is posted on this digest is opinion and everyone has a right to their opinion. No one is right and no one is wrong.

Even in the midsts of Nick's most sarcastic remarks (some of which were deserved - I fully admit), I took away quite a bit from his opinions and have incorporated them into my own thinking of the world of Glorantha
(hopefully others took something from my opinions). Just because someone
disagrees with you and is vehement about it, doesn't mean everyone else shares the same opinion - or that the person's ideas are right for your Glorantha.

Just be prepared to defend what you put out and not take offense to criticism from others. The worst thing you can do is get into a flaming war back with that person. This digest is here to share ideas, so don't be afraid to share them. You will get negative responses back, but so what. It is in the midsts of those messages that various ideas are exchanged and everyone benefits.

Lee
