Dear GW
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to express my sincere disappointment regarding the letter received by FUMBBL about infringement of intellectual property rights for the Blood Bowl game. I am in utter disbelief, and cannot fully express the displeasure and resentment I feel towards your company’s slap to the face of this community, a community which has supported your products so fervently for so long.
I fully recognise that your position is defensible from a rational and legal standpoint. However, please recognise that we consumers make decisions with our hearts as much as with our brains. If your company elects to close down this community, then my heart tells me to no longer support GW products. I will no longer introduce friends to your games. I will certainly discourage my gaming group and my children from continuing to purchase your products.
I hope you can come to an agreement that allows the FUMBBL site to continue as it always has, and which allows the community to remain intact. If not, then I wish you continued prosperity without my patronage.
Sincerely,
Mr. Sockoteacher
The above letter was addressed to the Intellectual Property Department at the address listed on this page, and is headed to the UK via snail mail. Thanks to all who offered editing pointers.
FUMBBL, I wish I could do more for you. I owe you at least this much.

I second that.

I think this letter says it all. Make sure you send it with an empty sprue so it gets noticed. If GW suddenly gets sent thirty of forty kilos of sprue, you can bet they will start to read the letters and take them seriously.

Word, Sock.
You just inspired me to write my own letter.
I haven't touched my Blood Bowl box in over 10 years. Then fumbbl comes along: I play BB every day, and have considered started painting again. And now GW wants to throw all that kind of enthusiasm away.
Cheers, mate.
