[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6366406, member: 2525"] I didn't make it personal. I have only focused on what you said, and not on you. I even said I don't know what your intent was, I just know what it looks like to me. And I gave you an opportunity to clarify - and you came back at me aggressively. I'm sorry it felt personal to you, that was not my intention though I can see why you'd feel that way now. I have no beef with you personally, I enjoy your posts, and I find you to be an intelligent poster who knows the game well. I tried to give you an opportunity to clarify by asking you if you had any evidence to support your claim (I even used the words "accused" and "claim" and you didn't seem to dispute that characterization). You responded, "If anything, I think your claim ("there's an article about a new/upcoming game, and it couldn't possibly be an advertisement paid for by the game's publisher") is more extraordinary than mine." When you claimed my reaction was more extraordinary than your own, that's the point where I let Mr. Frum know (I didn't say you accused him of committing a crime) so he could deny it, or agree with you and show me that my thinking on it was wrong. Again, I am sorry you feel like I've put you in an uncomfortable position. If you'd explained that your statement was just a gut reaction when I asked if you had any evidence, I would not have Tweeted him. I wish I had given you another opportunity to respond though before I had Tweeted him, so sorry about that. [/QUOTE]
