I think that's a fair argument.It's another thing to completely hand waive what was very likely a gross breach of fiduciary duty. Snarf single-sentence "Meh" dismissal of what is a huge issue which was on the minds of pretty much every single employee at TSR at the time doesn't do justice to the issue. Ask ANY TSR employee from that era about the impact of the Buck Rogers stuff at the time and they will tell you how uncomfortable it made them feel. How much it pulled things off of their successful lines. Large sums of corporate funds were funnelled to support what was essentially her family trust, despite low interest in the property. Funds were taken from other more successful projects to fund those Buck Rogers projects which kept growing and gathering dust in storage due to lack of sales. Her creepy brother was slinking around the company doing the same. She was claiming her father "invented" Buck Rogers when he didn't (he simply got the license). When she left TSR she used the Buck Rogers properties with GoHero to claim "Lorraine created the company TSR, makers of Dungeons & Dragons, the preeminent role playing game."This is not a person who needs your "reevaluation." You want to say she did some good as well as bad, fine. But let's not re-write history to pretend that "Buck Rogers stuff" was just a minor nothing. It wasn't minor and it wasn't nothing</blockquote>
