Leaving aside the fact that it's woefully unprofessional to go slagging a fellow writer's work in public, I risk offending people who I may very well be working with on my next gig. I love the ENWorld community, and I certainly hope that my opinions are valued here, but I'm not about to alienate my co-workers to provide the illusion of balance to a few posters who apparently already assume that my positive opinions have been bought.Yes, the fact that I work for WotC influences what I'll say in public. I won't lie (though of course, you have only my word on that). I won't come out and say that a book is great if I don't think it is. I won't defend a book that I think is poorly designed.But I won't come out and bash them, either. I'm sorry if it disturbs people to hear that, but that's simply the way it works in the real world. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.If I see a product that I feel is being unfairly slammed, I'll defend it. If I have a positive opinion about something, I'll express it. If I have a negative one, well... I'm happy to share those opinions with the writers, on a private forum, if asked. Going on about it here does nobody any good.I don't believe I did that. I've seen lots of critiques that have merit. There are even some in this thread. The specific ones I responded to are, IMO, not among them.</blockquote>
