[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 2667113, member: 1"] Eh? I was referring to your exceedingly long post filled with... umm... theories as to what I meant, although presented as fact, such as the "one-way/two-way road" thingummajigger. You did, very clearly state that I was claiming it was a one way road and that publishers owed me in some way. Your[I] exact[/I] quote "Don't tell us how generous you've been for letting us post links this far and how much you've been benefiting us when you know as well as we publishers that it's been a two way road where the precense of some of the publishers (obviously some more than others--I've no delusions about how little Misfit Studios' presence has meant to EnWorld's popularity) has done more for your site's growth than just about anything else."] When I pointed out that I had said no such thing, you then said "Morrus, the tone of your words spoke a great deal. Yes, there was certainly more than mere interest in EnWorld's interests at heart when press releases were made, but the tone of your words, especially within the context of this thread and what it entails, goes beyond the literal " My point was that you are telling me what I mean based on what you inferred from it. If I tell you that you are wrong in your belief as to what I was thinking when I wrote something, your only defensible position is to say "I apologise, I was in error. You did not say or mean anything of the sort" OR "Morrus you are a liar, I know exactly what you were thinking, despite the fact that you didn't say it". I'm not entirely worried about what you think I may believe; I am more worried that people will read what you say I believe and go away with the impression that I believe that. [/QUOTE]
