@Draugnar - when did I admit this? I can't remember even mentioning it? What are you talking about :)
You know, you can't just take out words, out of context, from different messages of different people, and then mix it all up any way you like...

@Ursa:
"1. You assume everyone plays rational and for his or her own gain. This doesn't have to be true, tho I can imagine it pisses you off. However, a great part of diplomacy is influencing others in such a way they help you thinking they help themselves. Calling names in global and/or the forum will certainly not help."

We're past the constructive part here. For my case at least. It's all about doing damage now, yes.

I understand and, in general, agree with the argument that there're two sides to every story and communication requires both sides to adjust. Would you agree to my argument, that every rule has an exception and there are cases (and people) where you cannot just 'stay cool'. I can give you countless examples from real life, though I'm sure you can think of many yourself :)

Secondly, following your argument, I should also be able to behave like an irrational ass, including here in the forum... which I'm probably doing already.

And, in the end, if someone wants to be irrational, surely I have the right to call them irrational and avoid them?

"2. Being an 'elder' member of this site you should know discussing an ongoing game is generally not done."

Yes, I know. Haven't done it until now, I think? I totally forgot about this somehow.

Now, while I still agree and will try to follow the general rule, I somehow don't see this as a 'regular' case. I've played a lot of games with a lot of people - this is the worst one, ever.

@Ivo - I was just pocking fun at a typo in you last post before that one. You meant thread and typed threat. Sorry, I should have put a smile or wink or some such rot on it.

grrrr... poking, not pocking.

P.S. I thought we were OK again, Ivo. I hope our (Babak and I) blowup didn't put a rift between us again. I just wanted to mess with his mind a bit after he got all hot under the collar for my revenge moves. You may not agree with them, but you did just admit I have a right to play them. and now people know that when they stab me, they better finish the job.

Yep, we're ok, but I know from experience it's better to avoid close contact :)

I just like reading your works from a distance :)

LOL! I love the "mind fuck" if you'll excuse the profanity this time. I can see why trolls get a kick out of their actions on occassion. I just prefer limiting my attacks to one or two people who deserve them, then sitting back and chuckling. The Corps taught me well...
