If you had made a simple "Sorry, mate, I didn't see you. What do I owe you?" message to him at the start, we wouldn't be here.
And if he had mailed Archi/me in the first place like everyone else has done so far it also might have made a difference as I might not have been as much in a hurry as I was and may just have yielded a different tone. If, if, if, if, if... If doesn't do much, now does it ?
You are almost 36 years old, you write. Well, I am almost 37 years old, by your terms, and just maybe my age allows me to see some things you in your green youth have missed. It's just words, and this is just a game.
By my terms, yes "verily m8tey" ;D
Or it's just that we have different personalities and a differing take on things. What you won't mind, I will and such.
Yes, it's just a game. You won't mind me playing that game my way then. I'll get "Cicero versus Catilina" and start a "greater horde offensive".
Uniting The Clans and all that.
I'm sure I can bring him down by words alone. Just wait and see. ;D
Being a little humble even when dealing with younger people does not kill you, so I don't mind sucking it up just to get along with people.
So we can expect you to do just that to get along with people here as well ?
That would be nice....
And if I talk down to Marc, it's because I feel that it's necessary. The situation could eaily spin out of control, and I would much prefer a fight here with Marc than a full war against Sohei in the game. Even if that just is a game, and I am sure the bruised egos here will hurt on long after the game is long forgotten. So be it.
Let me first say that I don't hold any grudge or negative feeling towards you, Mads, but just don't expect me to concur with you entirely or even at all on this. I have seen with the Orange incident that your way does yield results. You have a certain style which has it's merits as well. But so does mine in perhaps differing situations when I'm relaxed and really sitting down for it. Some folks respond favourable to your approach and some to mine and others to for instance Igor's or Jean-Yves to name a few. So that's a given. And when you manage to get the calm restored I will applaud that. But in my view we are not quite done yet with this incident.
What I however question is your quote "I would much prefer a fight here with Marc than a full war against Sohei in the game. Even if that just is a game, and I am sure the bruised egos here will hurt on long after the game is long forgotten. So be it."
Now I don't mind at all you fighting over this with me, I'm all for dialogue, most of the times when I'm not dislocating jaws that is ;D but I find it most curious that you'd let a mere and quite silly game full of strangers prevail over your possible cordial relations with people outside of that game but in another, somewhat more substantial group of less than strangers, if I may put it like that. I definitely do not agree with you on that one.
If things are over, and we still need to get confirmation of this, we can put this behind us and start rebuilding Archie's isle.
That we will. But on a personal level I will continue a bit longer with this "case" and if there would be a time that I would need to either temporarily or permanently step out of [Morkin] in order to follow through with that, I will most definitely let you know. He has managed to make it quite personal for me now.
I will not do anything rash though, so you can sleep the coming week knowing the game will continue at least a week longer...
