Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 7663225" data-attributes="member: 2525">Are you calling me a liar? If not, what was inaccurate, and why would you not say what is inaccurate at the time instead of cutting it out of your response?  Please stop doing that.  It's become a habit, and it's impolite (and I've already asked once before politely that you not do it).  You don't have to respond to everything of course, but don't lift sentences from paragraphs when those sentences are clearly modified by the rest of the paragraph.  When you remove context and pretend like there was none, you misrepresent what was said.You took a single sentence out of context from what Mearls said (similar to what you did to me as well).  He didn't say that in isolation, he explained what he meant by it, and what he meant by it is not what you're responding to right now.  Which is why I repeated it back to you, to make sure you say what I saw and what he said.  He didn't say "nothing in the world can be cancelled if it was never announced" (which is what you're responding to), he said that in the context of an unfinished experimental R&D thing it cannot be cancelled before it's been announced.  Now maybe you disagree with his view, but it's not as certain a thing as you're making it out to be in that context.  There are in fact some things which cannot be cancelled until they've first been announced, and this may be one of those sorts of things, and maybe not.Ah, that may be the source of the confusion here.  No, it was not made public on an online retailer's website - at least not by WOTC.  They were showing a distributor (in this case, Random House) what their unfinished plans were.  No retailers were given that information.  If some retailer posted it, they took it from the Random House information, which is not intended for release.But whatever you respond to this post - please, don't cut out parts of the post when you respond.  Nobody cares if you respond to everything, but please leave the context there.</blockquote>
