[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 5550888, member: 66434"] Why on earth would you think that having a different opinion on a subject than a game designer is equilvalent to thinking that he/she is lying? If a game designer writes material that I find doesn't add positively to my game and I decide to discard or change it, that doesn't mean I think the designer was being dishonest or trying to sabotage my game. As to your second point I don't get your meaning. An author only has control over what is presented (and not really 100% if an editor gets the final say). Interpretation is completely in the hands of the readers. For example, if I write a post here and it offends someone then all I can do is clarify my meaning and express that my intentions were never meant to be offensive. As the author of the material I don't get to tell a reader that they are not allowed to be offended because I am the writer of the material and have final say on any opinions it is supposed to generate.
