I think Solomoriah made a wise ruling. I was upset by Kask's statements, but I was even more angered by others who voiced in who had no knowledge of the matter repeating hearsay etc. I guess "Celebrities" get a bit more leeway from the mods, especially in their own threads. As it should be I suppose. I'm glad Rob and Greg are here so that the other side may be heard as well.
Ivid: From what I remember you were only asking questions, so you are not to blame for any of this. Some DF'ers may see this thread as a kind of conspiracy now, though if they bother to read through it they will see that that is far from the case.
I find it interesting that so many people are of the perception that Gary Gygax and other TSR staff are victims in need of defending from Dave Arneson and his "fanboys". Although I have seen many people criticize mr Gygax, I haven't seen it from the Dave Arneson camp (if there is such a thing). OTOH, I have seen several threads over at DF appearing to be attempts to minimize Arneson's role in the creation of the D&D products that he is listed as an author of, Supplement II in particular.
Since alot of people may be reading this now I would like to show my colors too: Most people will probably see me as an Arneson fanboy since I am running the Blackmoor website. However, I am also a fan of the works of Gary Gygax, Frank Mentzer, Bruce Heard, Aaron Allston and many others who have worked on D&D products over the years. That many of these people don't get along now is sad, but it won't stop me from enjoying the game
