[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8317814, member: 18182"] At the beginning of this trash fire, many folks who knew Ernie personally, or who had met him, even gamed with him, were surprised over his behaviors that have come to light. Like his dad, he's a genuinely nice guy to hang and game with. I do think he's trying to cash in on his dad's legacy, but I also think he's honestly trying to preserve and celebrate it too. Both can be true at the same time. But he certainly did Jayson Elliott dirty ([I]well, he was either a party to the deed, or an apologist for it[/I]). He refuses to take responsibility for his part in the failed Marmoreal Tomb project. He's unapologetic over his racist and sexist views, unwilling to listen, to grow, to apologize, to change. I don't think that makes him a bad person overall, just somebody who . . . I am not impressed with, and choose not to patronize or associate with. Perhaps, instead of me thinking of him as a [I]nice guy[/I], I'll think of him as [I]genial when in his element[/I]. People are complicated, and can be both good and bad all at the same time, both Gary and Ernie Gygax included. I'm willing to forgive the guy if he comes to his senses and makes an honest apology and reparations for the harm he's caused. [/QUOTE]
