RoF Drama Dying Down
And yay for that. I’m working on a post about tone which may also meld into a post I have about how two people saying the same things can garner different reactions based on their gender. Oh yes, it came up.
But first, I would like to point out that Realms publisher Warren Lapine made an appearance on the original thread yesterday. Interested parties may want to take note of the difference between his appearance and Doug’s. There are still some issues to address, mind, but there is an appearance of willingness to listen that I’m taking on face value.
Anyway, I think this is the end of my Realms-specific postings. I’m kind of impressed with the range of dialogue that’s been generated about fantasy art — it’s more than I hoped for and I’m really glad to see the issue being discussed.
Also, much love for the people in this thread.
“two people saying the same things can garner different reactions based on their gender.”
Oh, yes. And race. I really regret not saying in your comments simply, “I support everything Tempest said.” There’s got to be a way of boosting the original speaker’s signal without derailing it to responses to oneself.
You could pick up on this drama instead…
