Tyger, you are correct about the flame of creativity, but you've missed some
things. Shadowrun is a discussion board, where ideas are taken and thrust
before the hungry masses to be looked at, thought about, and commented on. Not
all ideas will receive a warm welcome. This does not mean the creator should
stop creating, or leave his creation to be torn apart by the masses. As a
creator it is your responsibility to defend or adapt your creation. The purpose
is discussion, and not all will be to any one persons liking (even mine).

Also Tyger, to be bluntly direct, your going to have to develop a thicker skin
and your going to have to read criticism as just that criticism. It's not there
to tear you or anyone else down. It's there to make you think and to point out
flaws.

I said that Buzz was a BAD spell because it looked and read like a combat drug
that had been written up as a spell. If it was not and was not meant to look
like that, then you need to clarify your position so we can see that.

Lastly, remember that the problem often is not the idea, but the implementation
of the idea that gets less than favorable feed back.

Keep on creating,
Jason J Carter
