The claim by Siembieda was that he had pioneered every innovation in d20, which was about as honest and genuine as his claim to have invented the first universal RPG system (in truth, Basic Role Playing predated the first appearance of the Palladium system by a little over a year). This brings us back to a dislike of Siembieda and his often baseless claims versus a dislike of Palladium Fantasy. I think your specific assertion that D&D fans hate Palladium Fantasy is about as genuine as Siembieda's claims. You say that you see this "hate" all of the time, though now you're back-pedalling to cite a single instance of a brush-up that had very little to do with Palladium Fantasy and took place nearly seven years ago. It really seems that you're digging to reveal an animosity that simply doesn't exist.</blockquote>
