So JMS's way not to sabotage OMD is to keep his name on the story he didn't want to write but bitch about it online? Is there such a thing as passive aggressive spin doctoring?


The only way I can see it is that JMS is hedging his bets and covering himself, so that if the story turns out to win favor with the fanbase, he can still claim partial credit for being "big enough" to "admit when he's wrong" (even though he doesn't, that's the way he'll spin it if this goes over well), but if it lives up to the almost universal criticism it's received online, he can say, "See? I knew this was bad, right from the start!"
