The GDW one though seems particularly personally vindictive to attack Gary and bury his work for others after he was gone from TSR.As far as comparisons to "the men" I do not hear much lionizing of the Blumes, they are mostly invisible and most stories are not positive. Gygax was identified as a co-creator of the game and was a big presence to fans from his writing and his self promotion, some lionizing identification of him is understandable.Most fans had and have little knowledge of the corporate leadership of TSR/WotC. Lorraine was similar to the Blumes in not writing materials and not really being known to fans outside of the insiders. Most of what fans know of them is second hand stuff. Lorraine was in charge of TSR at its financial end, which fans saw. Lorraine was in charge during the C&D stuff to fans, which fans saw and talked about and generated a lot of ill will. The Buck Rogers stuff is a lot more visible to fans than property ownership deals and company nepotism type actions.</blockquote>
