Some are, but not all (sadly, all the ones that I know locally:(). I intended no such implication as "all."

I never said that I never said "Quake sucks" or "ID sucks (I KNOW I said some things to that effect...I should have been more specific)," I said that I didn't say OTHER things.

Um, is this meant as an insult, or an extension of peace?

If peace, peace is accepted. I think we both know this has gotten out of hand.;)

Artistic opinion, not full opinion. There's a big difference. Anyway, that's all based on your opinion too.

Besides, you completely ignored the nullifieing statement...

I believe it started with me stating my OPINION on the artwork in IDs games...that's still me, but it certainly wasn't worth this whole arguement.

Now if we can just get along, we can consider this arguement terminated. As Mark said, it's all based on opinion, so it'll never end...
