(and, as some before me have noted, you do it and manage to stay a nice guy ;)) you certainly got my respect. ;)<br /><br />so you fucked up a convention? pfff!<br /><br />keep up the good work! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-1297639149681860012013-08-14T15:10:55.410-07:002013-08-14T15:10:55.410-07:00You should at least look into setting up a Faceboo...You should at least look into setting up a Facebook page and promoting your work there. I generally avoid Facebook as much as possible, but I do try to follow writers, game publishers, and other companies whose product I enjoy. <br /><br />And then bang the drum for your books.StevenWarblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12697680166430879676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-944473002141748452013-08-14T15:00:47.380-07:002013-08-14T15:00:47.380-07:00Humility is underrated JB, especially on the blogs...Humility is underrated JB, especially on the blogs and forums. There are many that think too highly of themselves. I tend not to have much time or interest in what they have to say. They are people who are unteachable and unreachable.<br /><br />On the other hand, the "down to earth" individual holds nothing but promise if he's willing to learn from his experience. Most people lend a willing ear to what that sort of person has to say because they can identify. They want that person to succeed in the same way they would want others to hope for their own success.<br /><br />Nothing wrong with being "down to earth" JB.dervishdelverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13803513672258666141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-20214545511598689492013-08-14T14:52:42.271-07:002013-08-14T14:52:42.271-07:00@ Thomas and Erik:

Like I said, I'm working on the self-respect thing.<br /><br />@ Erik (specifically):<br /><br />I don't think I've ever referred to Alexis as a "friend" (if we were buddies, I'd probably refer to him as "Al"), but we appear to have some mutual respect for each other.<br /><br />I should point out I don't believe Alexis is a bully. He's a heavyweight (intellectually) with a mean streak, but you certainly don't have to get in the ring with him. <br /><br />Most bullies try to force the issue till they get backed down.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-20679549456625381692013-08-14T14:08:30.890-07:002013-08-14T14:08:30.890-07:00Yes, you have books out there for sale. That's...Yes, you have books out there for sale. That's more than 99% of aspiring game designers have. And you encourage and inspire others. And you have never been an "intellectual bully"; for an example of that, look to your "friend" Alexis.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05871319767211153404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-23255561314190523432013-08-14T08:38:46.700-07:002013-08-14T08:38:46.700-07:00Time to "big up" the JB.

That's considerably better than most people with the same ambition have achieved. Cut yourself some slack.<br /><br />Regards, TomTom Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260818739749388054noreply@blogger.com
