Highwayman,

Your intentions don't seem to become much more pure by accusing me of being a demi-troll, and misrepresenting what goes on in the BR forums.

Before the creation of the True 20 forums, I would end up getting into philosophical debates about the setting, due to there being no where that people who disliked the setting could post without pro-setting people showing up and saying something specific to the Aldea setting and expecting you to tolerate it on the thread.

Green Ronin created the True 20 board NOT because of me, except in the sense that I gave them the idea. They didn't do it in a pact with me, or because I had complained or to get me off of the Blue Rose fora. They only did it because they had to acknowledge the basic idea was a good and necessary one. To have to forum dedicated to True 20 outside of the Blue Rose setting, given that I'm guessing eventually there will be more people who will play games using the system of Blue Rose than will ever play in the actual setting of blue rose (not just because of the limited appeal of Aldea, but because of the sheer brilliance of the True 20 system).

After the creation of the True 20 forum, I tried to limit my posts on the Blue Rose forum to topics of specific general interest, and not dive into political diatribes. But I found that the wonderful "tolerant" aldeans react to my very presence by mad cries of trolldom and demands for my banning, regardless of what I'm posting about. The fact that the mods have been less than emphatic about stopping people from flaming me have made them all the more eager, thinking its open season on me there.

The fact that the True 20 forum exists does not mean that I have lost the right to be on the Blue Rose forums, and since not every thread on those forums is setting-specific, I have a right to comment on those fora. Especially given that no one has done anything to advertise the True 20 forums, which keeps them kind of slow.

Note: "kind of slow" still almost matches the number of posts being put up in the much better publicized "Official" blue rose forum. Imagine if the large number of people on RPG.net who liked the BR system but hated the BR setting were to actually know about the forum's existence...
