Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rainbow Scissors" data-source="post: 9741408" data-attributes="member: 7052820">There's not anything to hide from. You bolded part of my statement, but that is neither the context nor the meaning of the entirety of my statement. I feel that you are taking an antagonistic stance against something that I am not even saying.Your accusation that I said that someone writing about evil should not write is not accurate. What I said was, "It is my view that, if the person writing the book feels the need to apologize for writing the book, then maybe they shouldn't write the book. By the same token, if the person is using page count to tell me what is badwrongfun but also simultaneously making money on selling me something that they feel I shouldn't be playing... I guess it kinda feels like buying drugs from a substance abuse counselor and then needing to have a meeting with them about it the next day."I bolded the same part that you bolded so that it could be compared to the underlined (and more complete part) of what I said. The bolded part in isolation is a very different thing than what I actually said.So, how is it different?There's a big different between saying,"...a writer who writes about how evil things are evil shouldn't write..." versus saying that I would questioning the concept of someone writing a Dark Sun setting and selling it to me when that same someone does not want Dark Sun to be Dark Sun. That is not saying to not write about evil. That is commenting that someone who were to choose to create, sell, write, and participate in publishing content that they espouse as being badwrongfun content is odd to me. Additionally, I -as a prospective customer of a product- would prefer a product that does what it tells me it does and is what it advertises itself to be rather that a product that goes the extra mile to no longer do what I expect it to do. I expect that a setting book presents a setting to me.I'm not even sure what you mean by "acknowledge that it can be done..."I have not said that your proposal cannot be done. I have said literally the opposite: that it can be done, and it is even an idea that could be very fun to play.So, yes, it can be done. I feel that you are trying to attribute a point of view to me that is not one that I have.</blockquote>
