[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 4100148, member: 32740"] In truth, what I read from Mr. Snyders blog is that he probably really DOES care about Gygax's death, but for whatever reasons he finds it necessary to defy that fact - loudly and publicly. If he simply DIDN'T care (as he wants to insist) he wouldn't have bothered. As noted upthread when you take that many words to insist that you don't care you protest o'ermuch and thus actually suggest to the contrary. Now what it is about Gygax's passing and peoples reactions to it that really bothers him is open for speculation, but something about it is under his skin. He blogged rather stridently about the situation. Q.E.D. I say he's just conflicted in his own loyalties and emotions. So LET him write what he wants. Clearly it's colored a lot of peoples perceptions of HIM when people had no idea whatsoever who he even was. May not be what he wanted or thought he'd get in response. I think it deserves no more notice HERE than the excess that it's already gotten. [/QUOTE]
