An Open Letter to James McMurray
James McMurray:
Here's another question for you: why start a thread to proclaim Hackmaster as nothing but a joke? I was the only one who had mentioned the game in more than just passing for a month, and not in any relation to you until you specifically mentioned it and I replied.
Is it really me who has some sort of compulsion here?

That wasn't what the thread was about; it was about people who interpreted Hackmaster as something serious and tried to claim it was NOT a joke; there's a difference.
And that's all still irrelevant. None of it was a personal attack on you, shit, it wasn't even an attack on Hackmaster.

James McMurray:
Ok. I saw it differently. We do that a lot it seems. I tend to think that calling someone's game a joke and saying it can't be used seriously is an attack on that game. You disagree.
You don't think it odd that I say people sometimes play serious games in Hackmaster and you immediately start a thread whose sole purpose is to proclaim that Hackmaster is a joke, and not even a real game in its own right?
Ok, perhaps you don't. But I certainly did, as would I think most people in my shoes.

Yes, maybe its a total failure on your part to intepret me, and you think I'm somehow "gunning" for you.
Maybe its even true that I am failing to interpret you, and you're really not trying to seriously attack me, you're just really bad at communicating your tone in your posts...
But you know, the fact is we have a problem of communication.
And the fact is also true that, unfortunately for you, I'm the Admin and you aren't. I don't say this to lord it over you, i say it to mean that its not realistic for me to either put you on ignore or just let this disruption of the site pass, its part of my responsibilities.
Since my repeated requests that you tone it down fell on deaf ears (either intentionally or through no fault of your own), and since you cannot seem to willingly follow my suggestion that you simply STOP responding to my posts since you can't seem to help doing so in a belligerent way, it falls to me as the Admin to do something about all this.
Its unfortunate, but that's life.

Ummm.... Ok. Again, you're not actually reading what I'm writing I think. But like I said, take whatever measures you must. It's not like I can stop you.
And to everyone watching, if this means I'm banned ya'll keep having fun here. I know I did. :)
