I had a whole host of things written to respond to Blaine's latest foray into narcissism, but I decided against it. I have to move on. And that means moving past the tit-for-tat game that he would continue to play. Instead, I will wish him success in his endeavors going forward. I want no part of them, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for him to thrive amongst his flock of like minded folk. Their game, their country, their world, is not one I want to live in, but hey, you guys do you.
I am focused on a Battletech Universe and community that can thrive now that it has been freed of some of the toxic elements weighing it down. Battletech is in a great place right now. There are a whole host of incredible authors working on some amazing stuff, and I will do everything in my power to support them. The game itself is in the best place it has been in decades. The fiction that we are getting now is some of the most enriching and fulfilling material that has ever graced the Battletech canon. There is going to be an amazing Kickstarter coming up in March that is going to give us more minis and fiction and Battletech goodness.
I'm excited for what is to come next in Battletech. I hope to be as much a part of it as I possibly can be. I hope that you all will join me along the way. It is a great time to be a Battletech fan, people! Enjoy it!

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately your antics have allowed Pardoe to claim victory and move on. Plus he gets to play victim and get more right-wing cred. I agree that Battletech is in the best place it has been in a while. I am not sure what part you will play in it in the future other than playing the game.
ReplyDeleteThe people who support BLP are going to support him no matter what. Prior to this, they were straight making shit up to self-justify. That's how the alt-right operates. Having something true as ammunition doesn't make them any more rabid, or any less pathetic
DeleteI agree there.
DeleteHey I got blocked by BLP on Twitter!
ReplyDeleteCool story "J" But was that a new book with Blaine Lee Pardoe's name that I saw Catalyst endorsing? Proves, it wasn't his work they had a problem with.
ReplyDeleteActually that is because one of the CGL employees is co-creator of Creative Juggernaut and helped create the book.
DeleteOk let's go with that. Brent Evans is working with Pardoe, this is true. But CGL puts a book that only has Pardoe's name on it. Now, would a company which fired an author want to promote a fictional work of his that they had a reasonable belief that it might contain subjects objectionable morally or ethically? I ask you. What does CGL gain?
DeleteIt's clear CGL either fired him because Fanatics didn't like "J"s noise, or because he was a conservitive and holds opinions popular with the half of the population that CGL execs don't like; or some combination thereof.
Less than half the population and it was mostly Pardoe's atrocious political views and attacking CGL fans that did not like his book.
DeleteThe 50.4% of the total votes cast in the 2022 midterms went to a Republican. This suggests that's it's almost exactly half of Americans would find Pardoe's political views less than your description of atrocious.
DeleteThen why did Trump lose by 7 million votes?
DeleteIt's called election fraud.

ReplyDeletePerhaps you should go further than admitting you lied your ass off and admit to stalking, threats of violence and crying racism. You know totally admitting your actions.
