[QUOTE="saganhawk, post: 2990086, member: 43093"] [b]"Response from Mykal Wells regarding Indiana Monthly Article"[/b] From here: [url]http://community.gencon.com/forums/4/42609/ShowThread.aspx[/url] Mykal Wells sent this message to the Gaymers Yahoo group Hello. I feel uniquely qualified to comment on this subject. You see. My name is Mykal Wells. I've gotten more than a few angry letters in the last 2 days. I would just like to throw in my two cents. Revenge of the Nerds is complete garbage of an article. I accepted an invitation to allow the Indianapolis Monthly to join me at Gen Con 2005 to see how Gen Con is experienced from the inside by an average gamer. That being said I do not apologize for what I *actually* said and did (which is some but certainly not all of it). I was being myself, that was after all the point, and I won't apologize for that. However, the IM turned it into a heinous and hurtful piece of trash that I'm ashamed to be apart of. It seems mostly composed of misquotations, fabrications, and outright lies. I, personally, feel slighted by the article, but most of all it misrepresented my friends and my community at large. That is unacceptable. My friends and I are currently discussing a proper course of action for this downright vicious and unwarranted article. *also I would like to declare that I am not nor have I ever been a diety of any proportion... To the best of my knowledge* Good Gaming. <3, Mykal Also see: [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/80086237@N00/99284953/in/pool-21636006@N00/[/url] The reporter is the overweight guy in the black t-shirt, the only stereotypical gamer in the photo!
