Hey bakerstreet want to fight? You weren't always right when we used to flame each other but you were always extremely intelligent about it.
I'd stick around for that!

Hey TSF, watch the low blows. You've gone beyond personal attacks here.
The swearing isn't a personal thing that we can do whenever we feel like it. This is a family site..I'm actually surprised I have to tell you that.
You're right about one thing, this is incredibly boring. So let's stop.
I appreciate your work, but you shouldn't care about millions of downloads...comments are what make the difference, and we both have a fair share of those.
I'm sorry for offending you, although I don't think that I have said anything personally attacking you. I would feel better about this whole thing if you would apologize as well. It would be in your best nature.
Thanks, sorry about "all this" or whatever, let's leave it at that.

The thread:
One thing about me is i always stick up for my friends and i call a lot of people at Microsoft "friend".
The Swearing:
I always bleep out my swear words with *'s so as not to offend young readers.
The Downloads:
As far as caring about millions of downloads - of course i do. Believe it or not we're not in this just for the money. We want people to enjoy our work. If we were in it for the money only we wouldn't spend as much time on these as we do. Terminator 3 took the guys 8 weeks to do.
The End:
I'm not going to apologize for standing up for something i believe in which came down to an unnecessary attack on a company protecting their intellectual property rights. Something all artists should take up arms about, no matter who it is. That kid Mike Rowe is now demanding 10k for the domain. That to me sounds like extortion. I hope they don't pay it because it sends the wrong message. They should buy it from for a fair price but for him to demand 10k is flat wrong since he knew exactly what he was doing.
But i never hold grudges. I'm cool if you are.

I wasn't asking you to apologize for defending MS, I was asking you to apologize for using derrogatory words against me...aka "personally attacking" me. That's not allowed here, and it's something I don't exactly enjoy receiving, if you know what I mean.
But yea I'm cool with the whole thing, let bygons be bygons, or whatever.

Wow imagine that. macrobaye loves to attack me by telling me to shut up, and here is getting upset about what he claims to be a personal attack against him.

That's because YOUR comments are stupid and out of place...like that one.

There is no need for you to use personal attacks in any rebuttal you provide.
