What is "canon"?

[Jason Weiser]

Ok Leg,
Time to get off the high horse. You want to couch your view on canon or not based on what GDW did, fine. Got no problem with that. But here's where frankly, I am calling you out...when you accuse me, Chico, FF and Law of "forcing" anyone to accept anything we do.

Since when did ANYTHING we wrote come with a use or else label? Did we have the game police knock down your door? Nope. And who in the hell died and made you keeper of WHAT IS CANON? If Mark Miller or Frank Frey or Loren Wiseman want to weigh in, great. I'll take their word...matter of fact, I know when Mr. Frey saw Law's work on the USMC, he said it was better than what he had originally done for RDF Sourcebook, don't believe me? I can dig up the post.

Leg, want the truth? I think your viceral feelings toward our work have a personal element. Targan isn't nuts about some of what we do, but I have never seen him be as downright nasty as you have been on occasion. Somehow, he can manage to be rather respectful towards everyone on the boards..and you know something else? This is the first damn time I've ever had to lower the boom on a poster on an internet board. Mohrender had it right about you I am afraid. I'm going to say it again, Don't like what we do? Fine, write something yourself that MEETS your standards of what meets T2K and then perhaps, I'd at least see some effort back up your vehemence. Till then, you're all blow and no show.
