yeah, i think you're too sensitive. i dont think the man is offended I just think he was pointed in his reply/comment to you. but like i said i dont speak for him, so maybe he was offended. if he is then silly me.
You realize, other people have done what you're doing here, and I end up getting some nonsensical heat as-if ***I*** was the one who refused to let go and "hijacked" the thread.
Right?
So, I was serious, I feel you had it right when you made up that particular so-called rule.
I'll only say this much more, and only because you are the admin and because I still hold a lot of respect of you because unlike a lot of people, you've shown yourself someone who isn't too proud to re-think his actions.
At the very least, we should be able to agree that the statement targeted me... he did specify me, right?... and his words were on the antagonistic/abrasive side.
Can I go so far as to assume he was "offended?"
I think so, but maybe there's a better word than "offended."
To me, he seemed pissed off that I said something that, I suppose, he took as some indictment on the fans, of which he is one, and I now realize evidently he was one of the more vocal ones... and he felt I should get some backtalk for it.
I think that's a fair account of the situation.
Again, if you or anyone else including him wants to pursue it, though, I'm only discussing via PM from here on.
