[Rainbow Six]

I normally try to stay out of what I think of as "political" threads, but after stewing on this one for some time I'm making an exception.

From where I'm sitting it rather feels as though several of the comments in this thread are aimed in my direction, specifically with regard to my Alternative Survivor's Guide to the UK.

For the record, yes, I have criticised the canon material on the UK in the past. I still feel justified in making those criticisms, and would be more than happy to have discuss them with the original creators should the opportunity ever arise. I'm certainly not about to apologise for putting my views forward in what I think has always been a polite manner. If anyone can recall an occasion when my comments have been rude or ill tempered perhaps they could draw my attention to the post in question.

Secondly, I think I've always been very clear from the outset that I'm not even playing T2K any longer, so my work has always been something I do for fun...nothing more, nothing less, and which I enjoy sharing with others in the hope that at least some may find the work to be of interest. If anyone does find it of sufficent interest to actually use any of the material, then frankly I'm flattered, but again I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of any post where I've ever said "it's the "only way it can be"." or "thrust it down anyone's throat".

Maybe I'm overreacting here, but no one (apart from possibly my fiancee) knows how much work I have put into that project (and continue to do so), so I think I'm entitled to feel defensive about it when relatively sweeping statements are being made. I think right now I can understand a little of how Chico and the others felt.
