In Response To: An attempt at clarity. (Claude Errera)

: Geez. I'm being misinterpreted all over the board. Please - read what I
: write, not what you think is between the lines.

: This has nothing to do with what's covered on the MSP - it has to do with
: THIS COMMUNITY. The people on this forum. The people reading these posts,
: and replying to them.

: I'm not in any way condemning the Story page for not going deep enough, or
: covering a game not in its purview. (I'm not condemning ANYONE, in fact.)
: I'm simply saying that the Bungie community (the Marathon community, if I
: need to be more specific - there ARE separate Myth and Oni communities)
: would have - in other times - been all over Jason's comment like lint on a
: nice suit. It's not as though the Halo story has been ignored, here on the
: forum - I'm not suggesting that folks discuss things that are completely
: out of their interest base. I'm saying that we (the community) USED to
: gobble up any scrap that came out of Redmond (Chicago) with the
: voraciousness of starving rats... but when Jason Jones stated in December
: that Starhammer was one of the more important works that influenced the
: Halo storyline, it was pretty much ignored by the community. Yes, Bachus
: did a quick net search, and found a reference that was intriguing - which
: you posted on the front page. That's it, though. Nobody else touched it.
: Nobody took it any farther.

: It's not the job of the Story page maintainer to tell the community what to
: discuss. It's not my job, either. It's NOBODY'S job - it's just something
: that happens. I was simply observing that the community had changed,
: pretty radically, in the past couple of years - and my evidence for this
: was the way in which this book has been treated. That's all.

Actually I don't think any books mentioned around have been discussed much lately where I frequent, but then I wouldn't be interested if it wasn't something I read.
