That's not how I would see it at all. I'd just ask: is burning copies of "Daughters of Darkness" and "Eldarad" still *fun*?
It seems self-evident to me that most people attending and organising Gloranthan conventions think it is, and this is why we still do it.
I've *never* thought we were "protesting a decision" -- I thought we were burning utterly crap products, of which many thousands of copies were printed, at the rate of one or two copies per year.
I admire the principled stand taken by Nils W, Stefan D, David B and others, but will nevertheless continue to flick my lighter and hand out the flaming pages. After all, we're getting far more joy out of DoD/Eld. this way than we'd *ever* have got from using them as the publishers and authors intended.
Cheers, Nick
