[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8324696, member: 50987"] Yeah, I think you're right. It sounds more and more like a desperate attempt to appeal to his supporters to do his fighting for him. TSR3 is in a very bad situation. GenCon and the Game Manufacturer's Association have explicitly and publicly cut ties with them, and that's a killing blow for a game company hoping to sell itself on the names "TSR" and "Gygax." Without GenCon and GAMA, a new RPG product will never reach the majority of distributors, investors, and customers of an already small market. So the situation is growing desperate, and Ernie is in damage-control mode. He could choose to issue a heartfelt apology, make amends to those who have been hurt, and show us examples of how his company intends to change for the better. Or he could choose to stand by his words, insult those who challenge him, and claim to be the victim of an imaginary monster, all in the hope that his online supporters will rally to his aid. And well, you know the rest... [IMG alt="Indiana Jones GIF"]https://media0.giphy.com/media/aEb4C7a63EB56/200.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
