Wonderful. So why are you here? To get more material?

Criticizing a famous game developer's hair, ripping on his personal life and immediate family, and harping on bad business decisions that were made over 5 years ago within a company that you were not connected to nor had any financial stake in says a hell of a lot more about you guys than you think it does about Romero, his family, or his fans.

I was really, really, REALLY pissed that day. The message board posts on other sites didn't bother me until I came across some people ripping on his wife Rhaluka. That set me off - you can rag on a guy's games, his hair, whatever, but when you start personally attacking his family, you're nothing but a scumbag that needs a swift kick in the teeth.

The bad part is I laid into a guy from Slashdot when the posters at Slashdot, while being snarky, weren't hitting below the belt. For that, I apologize.

I notice that Gamespot didn't bother doing their homework:

"...At the time of his departure, Romero and Hall were working on the still-unreleased action role-playing game Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows..."

- Tom was no longer at Midway at the time of John's departure.

Yeah, there's always loads of mistakes in these dumb news updates.  Tom NEVER worked on Gauntlet and had been gone from Midway for about 4 months before I left.
