[QUOTE="Carnivorous_Bean, post: 4065765, member: 57974"] Baseless accusations? I like your ad hominem attacks on me, I guess those don't count as baseless accusations in your book. But it just shows your caliber quite clearly. As a matter of fact, I AM a writer -- I've been published. Ever matched that, Mr. Snow? Two of my stories have been published on the BattleCorps science fiction site, at what is generally considered to be a low-end professional rate of 4 cents per word. My third story is currently being reviewed for publication. And I also wrote -- completely singlehandedly -- a complete 160,000+ word campaign setting for the 3.0 OGL. Go to Amazon.com, search for "Acrohelion." That's mine, jacko. Hell, I'll even send you an autographed copy of it, if you PM me your address. It certainly didn't make the best-seller list, but it definitely shows that I know what I'm talking about more than someone whose life accomplishment in the literary field is, by their own admission, one 20-page paper. Nor do I consider stating that these writers who churn out endless copy with seemingly only a few months pause to be "sour grapes" or a "baseless accusation." I did not state that this was negative.
