[QUOTE="Admiral Caine, post: 4613119, member: 60438"] Fair enough.. but here's was the relevance at the time. (3.5 is likely so far ahead it doesn't matter now, but just to frame it in context) I said 3.5 wasn't that so far ahead. You indicated that wasn't the based on what you had read. I cited the omitted sentence on the basis that, if 4E could catch up with a good push, 3.5 couldn't be [I]that[/I] far ahead. It's relevant because "Wolfgang's speculation" as you described it supports the initial statement I made about where the two Edition were in relation to each other, which you refuted. And you'll see that point or you won't, but that is sincerely why I thought the passage was relevant. ************** As for the rest of the post, I won't cut and paste quotations. Quite clearly I lost my temper and took your reply very personally, and I regret it and I apologize to you for that. But here's why I lost my temper, but its really just Messageboard 101. One takes the time to post something in good faith, believing it to be correct and accurate. There gets to be feeling that if even the slightest fraction or nuance of your post is subject to interpretation, that somebody just lurks to point that out. Like an ambush. Now that's an emotion that I projected onto you, and if I'd had a thicker skin, I would have let it go. After all, its now a day later and what you said really is now the case. So I'm caught with some human frailty and weakness. As for being dramatic, I talk and write the way that I talk and write. To refer to giving someone grace is something I would do in an everyday situation, but grant you that possibly most other EnWorlder posters might not. But we're all individuals. Well.. looks like I should get over myself, so I'll take a break and walk away from this thread. However, I still didn't see the need to have what I said pointed out as wrong, until it actually was. Sometimes an emotional display actually has something frustrating at the heart of it. Such is life. Have a good new year. [/QUOTE]
