There is an "unwritten protocol" that many professional designers and artists try to follow, not to respond to direct criticism of their works. Therefore, even if he were offended, TOdd directly responding would not have necessarily shown very favorably on him. Though heretofore unwritten, Monte Cook does a very good job of spelling this out in a recent line of sight column on his web site:<a href="http://www.montecook.com/arch_lineos62.html" target="_blank">http://www.montecook.com/arch_lineos62.html</a>2. You are not the first person on ENWorld who has gotten a private correspondence for insulting behavior, and certainly not the last. If a moderator sees something that would likely reflect offensively on another poster or the community as a whole, then they are asked by nature of their duties to stop it before it becomes something REALLY offensive. Usually, one of the first recourses is a private e-mail so as not to publically deride the poster. I go the private route first. If another wishes to publically discuss it, I'll make it public.3. I don't recall asking you to change your opinions, or threaten you in any way. What I did ask is not to come off offensively towards Todd's work in the thread he himself started, and for you to please re-evaluate some of his non-D&D work, particularly some of his d20 work for Thunderhead Games. I don't ban people - I leave that to Morrus' call.I must get back to real life, but if any of the other board members or mod's wishes to say something on this, feel welcome.Sincerely,Henry</blockquote>
