Actually I somehow think he DID read it and misinterpreted it, and yes, it's very egotistical to think you know what I meant by that better than I. That whole Metroid thing, quote specific lines that seemed to insult you. I can't think of a single thing that insulted you, except MAYBE, as I said, a little comment on your game playing ability. So I say you're wrong, so what? You gonna get insulted by that? Well tough cookies. Guess what every single scientist has to deal with every single time they announce a thesis. Other scientists will talk about why they disagree ALL THE TIME behind the person's back, and maybe only a few of them will actually talk to the scientist about it. It's not meant as an insult to the other scientist when they do that at all. It's a criticism of their work. Why you can't seperate someone from their opinions is beyond me. Humans ARE more than the sum of their opinions, a LOT more even.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
