Judd: I have a target audience in this post. I point out what my target audience is in the first paragraph. I am talking about real problems faced by people in that group, not all the hypothetical people who might hypothetically someday maybe be part of that group. Given the response from people in that group, I think I hit my mark, more or less.
Will is in a different group. There's no condemnation there: I'm not saying that anyone who is a developer for White Wolf and Atlas is wicked or whatever, just that they face a very different set of issues than amateurs. It doesn't mean he can't comment on the essay. It means that commenting as if I were talking about him, specifically, when I am actually not talking about him, specifically, is disingenuous in the extreme.
