First off dont tell people they need to shut up and listen. Thats rude and doesnt do anything but basically make people pissed and write off what you said.
And second as a moderator he should know that posts here deserve some kind of respect - have been a moderator on other forums and I have never told anyone, no matter what they posted, that I thought something they posted was foolish unless they were trying to pick a fight, which is exactly what you just tried to do with what you just posted.
Disagreement is one thing and thats fine.
Saying something is laughable is not.
And for the record what I was saying about those two modules was directed at the modules themselves and the people who created them as not being able to fit in with the rest of the canon they created, in my opinion.
Notice it says in my opinion.
And as Gary Gygax has said canon is only canon only as far as it is concerned with the particular DungeonMaster who is running the campaign.
I have heard of very good T2000 campaigns that never once set foot in Poland and were completely set in Iran and the Middle East. Or where Omega never happened and the US and its allies, with local offensives, drove the Russians out and linked back up with cut off parties in 2001 to 2002.
Hardly canon - but so what? So if in the timeline I propose the drought doesnt happen and Howling Wildnerness and Kidnapped go out the window - then they do.
And if in yours the US falls apart as per those modules and its Mad Max/Aftermath on the highways - then it does.
But no one should be told to shut up and listen or have someone say what they said is laughable - that just makes them say screw this and find something better to do - and there goes another T2000 player or campaign or potential module creator.
