: Munky was being facetious with his post title and his initial lines,
: referencing the issue that began this sub-thread - taking someone's words
: to mean something else than they intended - by jokingly interpreting my
: words as an attack on Scarab yet again. He then went on to describe how
: frustrating it can be to be interpreted to say such harsh words when one
: doesn't mean to. Despite the fact that the intention was to show
: understanding towards me, I STILL didn't like seeing my name involved with
: harsh words, humorous rhetoric or not, and I said that if you go back and
: look at my post.

: You also used harsh words towards his post, implying he was a
: "wuss" and was "part of the problem". I don't know
: what your reference to the past was concerning, but even if I am missing
: something, I think my main point still stands: if we continue to assault
: each other and take each other for villains, no matter who's doing it, or
: whatever techniques -aggressive or passive aggressive- that they may be
: using, we're just going to keep going in circles towards oblivion.

The point was that he has no room to talk. I should've linked what I was talking about: http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1207927
The shooing away that I'm pretty sure he thought was because of him (but I know wasn't) was in this mess of a thread you also missed: http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1207078

: ... And here I am, circling back around to try and explain myself because the
: same thing that started all this happened again. :)

: When I said "not to diminish your feelings or approaches at all",
: it was meant to be a respectful nod of understanding of frustration you
: both might feel.

: If it needs to be said, I do NOT believe it is a valid approach to demean
: people until they leave, nor do I think it's a productive approach to
: demean people who may be demeaning. Or demean people who are demeaning
: people who are deme--- Alright, I think you may get you get my point. ;)

Yeah, I was pretty sure you didn't agree with it, but you just glossed over it... maybe I shouldn't have pressed you personally.

To your other replies, I'd love for it to just be about Halo again, and your initial post did come across as not serious (to me and I'm sure most people), it just obviously didn't read as a good kind of not serious to everyone.
