Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corjay" data-source="post: 4435909" data-attributes="member: 52839">Thank you for the advice, though (not protesting, just saying) I usually save my antagonism for those being antagonistic towards me.Oh, my dirty little secret. Oh, wait, after 3 weeks of discussing these things, I'd say it's well established that I'm not particularly informed about WOTC's intricate and varied history. And as far as I can tell, you (and maybe jmuchiello) are the only one who is so well informed. So stop lording it over me, because it seems to me, if you lord it over me, you should lord it over just about everyone else in this thread. False. I'm the one who taught others how they interacted, and if you are talking about how they interacted with the industry (instead of each other), then you are mistaken, because I am well informed. However, if you mean that I'm not well informed about the exact particulars of what effect it has had on each individual company, then you are correct.Really, we can't all be knowledgeable of every intricate working of the entire industry and every company in it. Feel free to inform me. As you can see by where exactly I concede points, I am more than willing to learn and adjust my views based on what I learn. However, if you have grown weary of teaching people, then perhaps you have actually grown weary of this particular forum and I am simply the manifestation of the thing for which you are weary.Again, false. Almost every post I've made has made my understanding of this abundantly clear. But now this whole post of yours is simply attacking me, as if you no longer care to address the issues. If you can't keep this discussion focused on the issues, instead of personal attacks against me, then feel free to bow out.I know who Mike is, I don't know his history. My last post was responding to the information given in your post.False. I'm arguing against attacks against my right to upholding a single motive on WOTC's part. In case you don't know how the dynamic works, the one being beaten down by everyone else is the one on the defensive, not the group of people circling that person. I will continue to defend my stand "with all furvor" until you can convince me to change my stance, or get you to accept that I have a right to my stance whether you accept it or not.Thank you for that wisdom. I pretty much gleaned that from jmuchiello's post. Unfortunately, I have not seen such high praise for Mike before now. You're going to have to explain to me what that has anything to do with this discussion or my understanding of WOTC or contracts. If it has something to do with Mike, then I still don't know what it has anything to do with this discussion or why it should affect it. I'm getting quite enough education from others on that score. Besides, I don't care to spend the next several months going over thousands of threads and tracking down every tidbit of information through thousands of web pages. You, my master, in all your infinite wisdom, are just going to have to have patience and teach me, if you indeed expect me to learn.Thank you for the link. My education continues.</blockquote>
