It's...sort of a non-pology, but it at least it recognizes, "Hey, maybe I screwed up in how I presented this?" The question mark is important there. It's entirely possible that he genuinely, truly did not think that saying certain game-styles cause pervasive brain damage (to any degree comparable to horrifically traumatic events), though given his background in biology and behavior I find his (apparent) naive eagerness to use these terms surprising. His comparison of rollplaying vs roleplaying to having one's legs blown off and choosing between dragging yourself via your left arm vs your right is a little harder to explain as naivete.That final post did shape my opinion somewhat. But whether it was malicious attention-seeking or naive stupidity, neither reflects well on him. The notable lack of a real apology (even of the "Some responded positively, but that doesn't justify what I said" variety) weakens the impact from "okay, sure, I messed up" to "maybe I messed up, maybe I didn't?"Haven't read the Alexandrian article yet, but...well. I'm a 4e fan. I don't think it should surprise you that I rather dislike the Alexandrian overall (not solely for the statements about 4e, but certainly in large part due to them).</blockquote>
