Reverence is not a sin or uncool or a gauche faux pas. Being blind to his unreplaceable significance, skill and creativity because you disagree with his views, or believe in unverifiable notions of RPG evolution and progress that he doesn't fit into, is daft. Particle_Man is quite right above; some people are drawn to the 'knock it down' stance so powerfully that they make up reasons out of whole cloth (Gary would have destroyed TSR) to justify it.</blockquote>
