In all fairness, most of Ron's essays have been around for several years and there has been more than ample discussion on their relative merits (both on the Forge and elsewhere). If he is sick and tired of explaining himself, I can't say I blame him.
The thing is that he
never explained himself.
Ask questions in the forum, get told "read the old threads." No links given, just search for yourself - and don't bump up old threads, either.
Ask questions about the essays, get told, "this has been discussed before." See above.
Persist with questions, Ron carefully explains that you are stupid, continues being vague and inventing new meanings for old words - and making sure not to be consistent with his previous use of the same words - and then he locks the thread.
If he's on a blog or in a forum where he can't lock things down, he comments once that nobody understands him, and you should go to his forum to discuss it. See above.
And in the end, as Stormbringer said, that there's so much discussion over exactly what he meant about this or that, that suggests he needs to rewrite them to be more clear. I mean, he views them as textbooks for his theory - that's what genuine academics do, they rewrite textbooks based on feedback about what was clear and what wasn't.
Or if he doesn't want to explain them, he could just quietly take them all down.
The only reason to leave them up and leave the text vague and confused is so that, like Nostradamus, you generate discussion of them (clear writing requires less discussion and is less controversial), and so that whatever happens
someone can read it as true.
Judging by the responses to this thread and the one on RPGnet, I'd say there are plenty of interested folks.
I didn't say nobody was interested, I said I didn't see
why anyone
should be interested if the writer himself wasn't.
