I can understand why he wouldn't want people sending him story ideas, but does anyone know what the deal with SFX is? Did they do something to piss him off, or what?

1. Haven't we already been over this about three billion times?

2. Off-Topic is 1 post, ... a new record! /ubbthreads/images/icons/rolleyes.gif

1. Not with me we haven't.
2. What on earth are you talking about?

As to number 1, well, if you don't have the slightest patience to explain something when I ask, then don't expect me not to snap on you when you do something stupid. My being considerate demands a return.

1. I'll have to do a search of the threads here at B5LR but I could have sworn this has been discussed here before, and you've been here for a long time right?

2. The topic is the quotes book and the fact that Babylon 5, Crusade and Rangers quotes are acceptable, which is the actual "content" of the JMS post, not the frellin' sig that JMS uses.

Sol, it was discussed briefly a couple of months ago, and the pertinent postings are linked.

Check out this thread: <a target="_blank" href=http://64.91.237.231/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB8&Number=38406&page=2&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=186&fpart=> SFX Thread</a> .

Short of it is, yes, they did do something to piss him off and a whole lot of other people as well.
