How could someone who claim to be "né sous une mauvaise étoile" and "mad, bad, and dangerous to know" be boycotting people for icky non-kindness ? 
(Just seizing the opportunity to correct the typo, this "mauvoise" has annoyed me for too long
)
(By the way, "né sous une mauvaise étoile" means "really ill-fated and luck-less".)

Thanks for pointing that out, actually. My french is obviously a bit rusty and my hands too lazy to double-check on Babelfish.

I find it odd that he basically ignored Nicole and my postings about the fact that a) I'm only one of many who worked on this, b) I've already been paid, and c) it really only hurts Green Ronin...
...just so he could make another point about how mean I am.
Talk about totally dodging the obvious point.....ah well, I guess there is no reasoning with some folks.
Tell ya what, 'bender. Give me your address and I'll buy you a copy and send it to you, so you don't have to hurt Green Ronin with your decision.

I didn't ignore either of you, actually. I had a conundrum yet will stick to my vow. However, I will not be hurting Green Ronin in the slightest as I have picked up two Green Ronin books that I hadn't planned on getting, Hammer and Helm and Wrath and Rage. I will pass on the offer, I will never purchase or accept a book of yours (even from one of many contributors) due to the way that I have seen people treated on the other forum.
You call it dodging points, I call it sticking to my guns. I will say that I appreciate the offer and that is a generous offer on your part.

You're bad ! And rude ! And naughty ! I don't like you ! I'll never buy this book because of you ! My adress is in my profile's biography !
Well, one can always hope...
Oh, now, Gez! Hey, I will say that I am not encouraging ANYONE to not buy this product. I am sure it is well written and I am an avid consumer of Green Ronin products. I also never said I don't like GMS, I just don't like the way he has berated people at rpg.net. And although I won't buy the book due to his involvement, I will in no way boycott purchase of Green Ronin product. I am making a stand. If I said, ' Well, he was rude, but Green Ronin already paid him, so what can I do?' then bought the book, I wouldn't be sending out much of a message, would I?
It is best this case was closed, I don't want to rant more or cause anymore animosity than I already have.

Just to play the pedant here... Hellbender's stand still makes sense from a principled point of view: If enough people take the same stand, it puts pressure on Green Ronin not to use GMS as a freelancer. Eventually it hits the correct target's bottom line.
I respect the principled stand, but personally I'd weigh it carefully against the promise of Green Ronin (and yes, GMS) quality. You've already made your point to GR, and in a much more effective way by voicing it here, instead of trying to make your point anonymously through a cash register transaction that never takes place.

Oh absolutely. Like I said, I've made the same stand myself. In fact, there are people whose online personas I've found so completely offensive I've vowed never to buy from them, no matter how attractive their wares. The defense of the specific person against whom I hold my grudge has always been "Yeah, I'm an
online, but how I behave has no relation to the quality of my work." I've never bought that argument for myself, and I don't intend to try convincing hellbender to accept it either.It's all cool. I'm going to respect his opinion on this and let it rest. I hope y'all will do the same.
