[QUOTE="Corjay, post: 4435887, member: 52839"] My stance is well-stated in this thread. I don't know what else I could say to make it any clearer. You can also get more on my view with my new signature. Thank you. I appreciate that. Now, if you could convince certain others of that, I think things might go smoother. Well, as I stated earlier, I was forking this discussion because it didn't belong in the other thread. If anything is hidden, it's because it hasn't been discussed yet. No hidden agenda on my part. We're having an open discussion on a topic of public concern. I suppose if I have any agenda, it's to keep people focused on the facts instead of putting a convenient "hate it all" blanket over an issue that appears widely misunderstood, not just by me, as some would paint, but by all parties. Whereas some have an intimate knowledge of WOTC, I have an intimate knowledge of contracts. Put those things together, and both sides can learn from each other. I'd say you've hit the nail on the head. It is my nature to defend where unjust accusations are tossed. I give no apology in regard to the errors of the GSL, but I will not have the GSL or WOTC indicted for things they don't/didn't do. You won't find a single post where I come across that way. What you will find are my posts that correct misconceptions about those so-called "shiny parts" or that pull those "shiny parts" out from under the blanket of hate. I have already said multiple times that I do not champion the GSL. I just want the detractors to get it straight what parts they should be detracting. If they got it right in the first place, I'd be standing next to them with the protests. Thus, I am left in the apologist position, because so many are ill-prepared to argue it correctly. I expect people to consider WOTC's motives for the GSL as per the title of the thread [which was another poster's subject, who prefers to remain nameless, not mine]. I also expect people to stop focusing on me and my motives, because that's not what this thread is about. [/QUOTE]
