I would just like to point out to the both of you that Terry *never*
named *anyone* in one of his posts. All he has done is talk about a generic
GM, using that person as an example of what he sees as a problem with
role-playing in general, and Shadowrun in specific.

Terry has never accused anyone on the list of doing anything. The
fault getting a little heated and taking things on a personal level is
yours, and it does nothing for your argument.

I'm not taking anything personally here, but I've gotten really
tired about hearing what a terrible guy Terry is. I have played in a game
that Terry refereed, and I would stake him as one of the best out there.
Lighten up people, it's only a game.
