Where has Whisperfoot Gone Off To?

[BrooklynKnight]

Erik, and Keith post here (Keith more often as of last week), without any fear of breaking their NDA through careless comments.

All I can say is, think before you click. I've made careless comments in the past myself, so I see where you're coming from. But, I think you're over reacting.

Enjoy time spent with your family.

Darrin, you will be missed. Please stop in though, when you can. And please ignore Reaper. Every board has it's ... ahem ... special members.

So because I've used these messageboards to discuss D&D in the past, I somehow have such a degree of obligation to the community that I should risk violating my NDA through a carelessly made comment? The dollars I've donated to Morrus for the site and the advice I've dispensed over time in various threads are not enough? If someone else thinks that is the case, feel free to speak up. Of all the folks here, I would be most interested in hearing the opinions of Piratecat, Henry, Morrus, Eric Noah, or Teflon Billy on this subject.

First of all, you should never post somewhere you don't want to post. I admire your professionalism, and it's your responsibility to balance being an active member and maintaining a NDA. No one wants a return to the r.g.f.d. difficulties experienced by Sean Reynolds back when he was TSR's webmaster and had trouble with people mistaking his work and personal posts.

Personally, I think you should lurk here as long as it's fun for you, and post when the mood strikes you. Don't post when it doesn't. Your insight on things WotCish is valuable for me, but not if it makes the rest of your life more difficult. Just know that like any designer, you're welcome when you want to be active -- and answering questions about new products you've written is always extremely helpful.

Hey Whisper,

As a (very) infrequent poster, lemme say that from what I have seen around here, you have been a definite asset to ENWorld and will be sorely missed. Enjoy your much-deserved time off and I hope to bump into you sometime.

Reaper: Shut up.

All I can say is, think before you click. I've made careless comments in the past myself, so I see where you're coming from. But, I think you're over reacting.

You can say that again.

Whisper, you are one of the most insightful and respectable members of EN World, IMO. I don't come here much, but when I do and see your posts, I have always found them to be worthwhile. Please check in when you can. You will be missed.

 

[Ashwyn]

As a matter of fact, I was wondering what happened to you. Thanks for the update. I'm glad you're doing well with work, and I understand your decision. Be well!

 

[Buttercup]

Take care, Darrin, and pop in when is suits you.

Ignore Reaper, and pots who complain about the blackness of kettles.

 

[Silver Moon]

Thanks for the post Whisperfoot. I fully concur with your decision. I was once in a similar situation in that I worked for a company that required me to sign a non-competing contract that impacted what I could do for up to a year after I left the company. I had to be very careful, especially after leaving the company. The former employer took a very broad interpretation of that clause and threatened a lawsuit when I took a very different and unrelated job that was still within the same industry (he eventually backed off once I got the corporate lawyers involved). It is always best to err on the side of caution.

Of course, that shouldn't hinder you from posting comments to Story Hour and Off Topic threads. Isn't it about time for you to start another "This is a ______" threads?

...drivel...

Reaper? When will you be finally turning your back on ENworld? You certainly seem to dislike the people invloved with this site. Clearly you'd be much happier elsewhere. And, if you start a thread anoucing it I promise I'll post a congratulation.

Hey everyone. How about if we keep this about Darrin and not hijack onto criticism of other posters, okay?
