New Forgotten Realms designed by FR haters?

[rounser]

The design team in a pod cast said they knew little of the setting and he had never liked it anyhow, and they did not even know why it was called Forgotten realms.

From RPG.net. Is this true?

No.

A link to the claim would help me better disprove it.

I doubt it. I really, truly doubt it.

Maybe they're getting confused with the interview where one of the 4e designers didn't know what/where Bytopia was?

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised. But I doubt it is true.

Sure, why not. I read it on the internet, it must be true.

Did you read it on the internet?
Did the person writing it assume a Voice of Authority?
Do you want to believe it?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then the statement is true. You can't post lies on the internet.

Buried somewhere in this thread in the first half dozen pages:
[D&D4e] What makes it not feel like D&D? - RPGnet Forums
I copied it when read but can't seem to locate it now.

I asked if it was true, I didn't say I believed it. You and your sarcasm can kindly go jump in a lake.

The topic was presented as, "Hey, I heard/read this, is it true?," not as, "Hey, I heard/read this, it must be true!"

The latter might be worthy of ridicule; the former is most certainly not.

He never said it was true, he was asking around after reading some other forum.

I think that some people that worked on FR4E could dislike it, why not? But that won't make them sabotage the book. Changes were made mostly due the big magic changes of fourth edition.
