[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 9659581, member: 7808"] This is, of course, one of the driving forces behind creating this thread. Not to debate the man again; there are seemingly endless threads about that. And not to ask "can we not separate the good from the bad?", because that's also been discussed. Rather, to look another step further and ask "How can we move past these distractions entirely?" We can discuss Call of Cthulhu without discussing HP Lovecraft. We can talk about Tensers Floating Disk without talking about Ernie Gygax. We can debate the Forgotten Realms without debating Ed Greenwood. We can optimize a cleric without mentioning Mike Carr. And we can analyze every other edition of D&D without invoking a name printed on the spine of the book. IMNSHO, one of the best things we, as a community, can do to preserve the memory, legacy, and experience of 1e is to learn how to discuss this edition with that same respect. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
