[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9446343, member: 4348"] There were things that he did that I may not agree with, but it is easy to be derogatory to someone when they are dead. Far too easy at times. He did nothing that I am so irate about that I would besmirch his name about it now (though there may be an individual or two out there that I MIGHT be willing to besmirch them due to how badly it went between them and I, Gygax is definitely NOT one of them). My dealings with him were not so much over RPGs though, but more with gaming (wargaming and such). All I can say is that he was always nice and wonderful in any and all interactions I had with him on a personal level. He always seemed to try to be nice to those who tried to start arguments or be unkind to him, at least in his later years from what I saw. In his later years, even when he disagreed with something (for example, say WotC D&D) he would still try to be polite about it, and even say positive things about it that could make others think he thought it was the BEST thing ever! I think he was a very nice man from what I saw of his interactions and how he acted, at least in his later years. [/QUOTE]
