frobisher said:The problem is that jms has always been open to answering questions from fans, and is accessible. He wasn't the one who dragged this out into the open, he was asked some pretty direct questions on an open forum.
Believe me, I appreciate this, but the proper professional way to handle this is that if you can't give it your official public approval, you say nothing about it at all and cite contractual reasons or professional courtesy. Despite this, I consider JMS to be one of my stronger influences. I have a great deal of respect for him, so in that sense, it is a personal disappointment that he is going on the record against the work I'll be doing. Nevertheless, I'll carry on the work and hope for the best possible outcome.
