Well, the bible has something about casting stones...seems applicable at least in my case. I know there are others who never make mistakes, never participate in rash actions or do things they ever regret. I know, I run into them all the time . Myself, I believe in the second chance. I have benefitted many times....More great pub for our hobby and our site...lovely. Mike B.

It's not unreasonable to expect the Acaeum to be mentioned/credited. However, in this free information era, people conveniently forget that others are putting hard work into the stuff that appears online. Posting classified ads to a forum you've never visited before is also a severe breach of netiquette. The fact is, some people don't have manners.That being said, we really need to collectively work on our response to these issues as they arise. Lately I've observed a rampant "us vs. them" mentality, and frankly, it's getting a little bit tiresome. Please, let's at least try take the high road when first addressing these guys -- because when we don't, we come off looking worse than the offending party.

I guess I am just more sensitive than most when I look at all the great volunteer work Scott has put into it over the last 8+ years to make it what it is today, just to let people crap all over it whenever they feel like it.

It would be appreciated if you".....blah blah blah fill in the blanks if it would help. Maybe we could take turns...... Mike B.

deimos3428 wrote:Well, thanks for the offer, but I doubt you'll want to contribute once you know what's involved. I'm hoping to obtain several (about twenty or so) low-condition, low-cost 4th printings of the DMG -- to rip them apart and look for yellow bits of paper. Because I'm not willing or able to put much money or time into this endeavour, I haven't actually obtained any yet.It was actually Paul's suggestion, in this thread:Research Help: Dungeon Masters Guide • Page 3 • Collecting General • The Acaeum
