Volin:
I am not part of this. But since you insist on including me, it looks like you are groveling at the shrine once more. As a friend of the Harley staff it is alright for you to defend them. It is not alright for you denegrate others in that pursuit.

At the risk of annoying Mr Ovatha Easterlings ;-), if ME Games had
access to the software, I'm sure this sort of mistake would not occur.

Hi Ovatha,
I am not part of this. But since you insist on including me, it
looks like you are groveling at the shrine once more. As a friend
of the Harley staff it is alright for you to defend them. It is
not alright for you denegrate others in that pursuit.
For goodness sake, I made sure to include a wink emoticon to indicate
that I was pulling your leg. If I wanted to respond to your insults
with my own, believe me I would not use humour as a vehicle.
Grovelling at the shrine? That's very funny. Have you any idea how
critical I have been of Harlequin and ME Games in the past? I believe
in praising what I consider praiseworthy and being critical of what
(in my view) deserves criticism. I am on record as being of the
opinion that Harlequin made a total mess of things when they took the
game over. However since then all the issues concerned have been
cleared up and I have recently had no cuase to do anything but priase
them - which I do.
It is just not correct for you to label me as a friend of the
Harlequin staff. I have no contact with them outside a business
context - I do not socialise with them, I do not exchange birthday
cards etc. Yes, I am on friendly terms with them - but that is usally
my aim with everyone with whom I have contact in this rather dark and
unfriendly world.
I used some very gentle humour ....

... which I can't see could in any context be regarded as denegrating
yourself. I certainly regret any offense as this was not my intention.
I would however suggest, in a friendly manner, that you lighten up a
little.
Colin
