Se we are back to " it's relevant because I say it is and if you question that you are defending sexism or sea lining" What exact point are you so passionately trying to avoid making?if the answer is "gygax was sexist", that immediately loops back to how is that relevant to his work.

No, my reason for stating the relevance was not shown is because the example is not about his actual work & keeps turning back to "gygax [personally] was sexist" when it comes time to extend that letter to europa to anything specific in d&d, true or not that's not relevant to his work on early...

No, I don't think you understand what is being asked, that or you very much do understand and know that you are uincapable of drawing a link so just declare it to be "sea lioning" "gaslighting" & similar. If you didn't want a discussion perhaps the first step would have been to not make a...

No you did not, your entire focus has been on gygax as a person. The key part you are missing is how what you think you showed is relevant to early d&d & the history of d&d itself. Claiming you showed a thing you never attempted to show does not accomplish that

I'm sorry, I thought this was the dungeons &dragons forum and we were talking about d&d history. Please show relevance between gygax as a person & his work. Maybe admit your claim is irrelevant & stop claiming that is an unreasonable burden too.

I think that it did a pretty good job of that when it came to skills if you look at dmg30 (dm's best friend) & Mialee's skill check being impacted by stuff we might use more modern terminology to describe as quantum & fate style scene aspects. You get a really nice cohesive whole for skills...

Although it looks like he wrote something about a totally different topic about 50 pages earlier☆, that was not written by him. Also you did not answer or address any of the post 112 questions & problems about your own points about why your "Gygax was sexist" claims matters in relation to what...

I don't think you realize the level of proto-satanic panic that Gygax was responding to & really believe that he was brushing off people who simpoly wanted d&d to be "more appealing"... simply because I don't think you would belive I was quoting the Europa 6-article he was responding to if I...

I embedded that tweet with "Gary's original letter" because she went beyond the sarcasm comment & explained how the calls for revision themselves were sexist in it. What she wrote in that tweet was: Note the bold bits, there are an awful lot of folks who have a 10,000 character limit.. She is...

Trouble is that those "every time something is directly posted" it's tenuous at best & in no way supports the current comic code levels of reactionism, the disclaimer supporting them, or the claims themselves. That leaves us with an endless repetition of post 15 style attacks across the fence...

I might agree with you if there was literally any attempt at pointing to those specific writings... Of course that's not happening and never really did in any serious or credible way.

We can't have a discussion based on "well assume the criticism he was responding to was valid reasonable & a thing you agree with" if you can't provide it or even point to specific things you feel were sexist. I wrote the words "you don't seem to have made any effort to support that bolded bit"...

Going to link this here because it nicely addresses this claim & you don't seem to have made any effort to support that bolded bit Maybe... but we are also talking about a nostalgia bait history of d&d book rather than an a modern adventure or splatbook that would make relevant those...

It's a derisive quote about grognards from Jason Tondro. That quote shows thaco the clown as a very recently published mean spirited effort to exclude and drive away "those people" by today's standards. .. Women were allowed to open credit cards in their own names in 1974 after the Equal...
