Re: Well, so much for the respect part.
Posted By: Gromit <gromit59@mac.com>Date: 7/1/02 9:46 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Well, so much for the respect part. (vector40)

Well, actually, he didn't provide evidence. That was the point of my reply. He simply posted his opinion and backed it up with what is, as far as I can tell, speculation. Have you read the interview linked from my response? In essence, anyone who claims what Shiska claims is (probably unintentionally) implying that Mr. Seropian was fibbing. I doubt that is the case, and I think evidence should be offered by those who suggest otherwise. I've posted this same response to several very similar posts over the past few months. I have yet to hear an explanation from those who keep invoking this myth (though I have in the intervening months stopped checking those threads), and I feel strongly compelled to keep raising this question in response to any such post. Doing so in a new thread would simply dilute this forum with yet another out-of-context message.

I did ignore Shishka's request that no one respond in disagreement. However, I don't think that this warrants the level of his rudeness. It might seem like a nice idea to ask that those who disagree with you segregate themselves in their own thread, but this is a forum for public dialogue, and you can't simply manufacture your own rules of civility and then disregard those that already exist.

Gromit

: Said treatise, I think, was the purpose of his post — the grounds behind his
: thesis, which was "Bungie kicks ass," or something along those
: lines. It's be pretty spacious if he just made a point and didn't provide
: any evidence for it, don't you think?

: Arguable.

: And that, of course, is the point. Argument was requested to be made
: elsewhere. If you don't honor that, that's your business, of course — but
: you can hardly ask him to be particularly kindly in return.
