[QUOTE="Menexenus, post: 4869468, member: 8951"] [b]C'mon Erik![/b] I just saw Erik's reply to Mishler's second post (above). Erik, I think you owe it to yourself to apologize. The guy is simply stating his view and backing it up with his well-considered and carefully laid-out reasons. Of course, you don't have to agree with his conclusions. (I don't. I think he's way too pessimistic about the state of the overall economy. He thinks we're in a Depression and considers a Japanese style "lost decade" to be a best case scenario.) Heck, you don't even have to respond to them! You could just ignore him. Instead, the response you did give (on his website to his post) was rather insulting and mean-spirited. While you may not like what he said about the implications he thought Paizo's PDF pricing would have for the industry as a whole, nothing he said was personal or petty, and it didn't deserve the response you gave it. I'm sure what you wrote was written in the heat of the moment. (I know there are a number of things I've written over the years in posts and emails that I wish I could "unwrite".) I'm also sure you're a better person than the way you came off in that post. As an impartial observer who doesn't know either one of you, I think you owe the guy an apology. I hope you'll think about it, Erik. (You might be surprised how good it actually feels to give someone a sincere apology. I know I have been!) [/QUOTE]
