*sigh*

I'm not sure how to react to this.

Keith, yes, to me and to some others the game you are involved in would
definitely be weird. But then again, I'm not sure you'd enjoy our games,
so if you enjoy yours, fine. Have fun. That's what this is all about
after all.

I simply don't like many of the ideas that you have, or that arise from the
game you are in. The only thing I have to help me understand what you are
doing is through a single commonality that this entire list supposedly
shares, and that is Shadowrun. I try to explain/understand everything from
a more "canon" perspective. Yes, to a certain extent that means I'm
close-minded; if something doesn't have a strong relation to SR canon, it's
difficult for me to understand. It's the point of reference from which I
relate to FASA, RN, TK and my players with. It appears that your frame of
reference is different from mine.

Which is fine.

If you think I, or others, are picking on you in some way, it's because you
are just as vocal as I am. We know there are people with stranger SR ideas
than you, but you are the most vocal so I will admit to singling you out
sometimes, perhaps unfairly.

Why did this go to the list? To remind everyone that while we may spend
some serious time with this game and while we may spend a large amount of
brain sweat on this game, it's still just a game. It's supposed to be for
fun. Keith, as long as you are having fun in your game, then outstanding.
I'm having fun in mind.

Have fun.

Erik J.
