They don't bring a lot of renown, outside of a very small circle.As an RPG writer, all I really have is pride in my work. I'm fine if people are inspired by my work, but direct plagiarism? Nuh-uh.If someone plagiarizes me, you can be damn sure I'm going to call them on it, loudly, in as many public forums as I can find. And anyone who would then condemn me for going public, well, that's someone whose respect I can do without.Now, I have no personal dog in this particular hunt. I don't know Randy from Adam. But if he's been widely accused of plagiarism, that's something that people--the market and other writers and publishers--need to know. He's certainly welcome to defend himself. But these sorts of discussions have to happen (and, in the absence of any true authority beyond the market, they have to happen publicly.)</blockquote>
