Woah, wait just a second there big fella. I am a founding member of this forum and in the past I've been a strong contributor. I and several other prominent members of this forum have been active on the 93 Games Studio Twilight forums and have actively encouraged interaction between members of the two forums. I think you are being way harsh on those members of this forum who are fans of the work that you, Keith and the other 2013 contributors have done. I own a hardcopy of the T:2013 rules and I think they are excellent. I've done my best to smooth over conflicts between members of the two forums, both in general thread posts and by PM.
I don't recall reading any threats of violence made on this forum towards you or any other members of the T:2013 design team. I certainly would have moved to put a stop to it if I had. Were those threats made in PMs? I have to say that you've hurt my feelings a little Clayton, suggesting that I've tacitly supported criticism of your work through my "silence". I certainly don't see things that way at all.
I've supported and applauded your work many times on this forum. Sure, I don't loudly leap to the defence of T:2013 when it is criticised here but that is mainly because I am waaaaay past the point where I want to get into flame wars with other forum members. I was a bit of a troublemaker in the distant past and I want things to stay nice and calm on this forum nowdays. If others want to criticise others' works that is their business. As moderator I try to keep things civil and as a forum member I choose not to get into arguments that create bad vibes and nothing more.
Clay, I think you may have forgotten along the way that you have friends and admirers here.
