[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8431230, member: 7808"] As the OP, I'd like to answer this. First, I started this thread independently, on my own. I did not collude or consult with Morrus or anyone else at ENWorld before starting this. So there is no way this should be considered a PR stunt by ENWorld. Calling them out here was an action by a user (me). That being said, I feel alright with calling them out here for multiple reasons. The most important being that they not only have an account here, they were using if for PR purposes to bring ENWorlders to YouTube, and they were active in another thread the very day this interview was done/posted. Calling someone out on a board/medium they don't use (like Tik Tok, as they mentioned in the interview) isn't a way to communicate. But if TSR-Hobbies is going to be an active member and use this site for both personal entertainment and business/marketing purposes, there's no reason that it should be an issue at all for them to respond here. Most importantly, if [USER=7032471]@TSR-Hobbies[/USER] is serious about their desire to talk to people directly, have a conversation, and set the record straight (as they state multiple times in the interview), it's critical to have at least part of that conversation in a forum that isn't their own. When they do interviews like this one, or when posting on their own Discord (or Twitter, etc), TSR is in control. They are choosing what questions are allowed to be asked, and choosing what answers are shown. Multiple people have already reported that they've been blocked by TSR on Twitter, and TSR has even more control over their Discord, email, and phone lines. When one side has all the power, that's not a dialogue; it's a controlled narrative. I want to talk with them as equals, and I know I can't do that on their Discord. And, as a final note, I will say that I don't think I'm making any ridiculous requests (like the "what did you have for breakfast" question they mention) or being overly inflamatory. Obviously, some users here are a bit more critical than me. But the basics like "Do you have anything to add to this?" really shouldn't be a hard question if they meant what they said publicly. And questions like "How many pages are in the Star Frontiers book you just published" should be super softballs to any publisher. [/QUOTE]
