I happen to thing the opposite. And I continue the conversation to clarify
my posistion. Just as you did. Just as I did. Just as you did etc etc etc

That's not what I'm saying at all, but you are too keen to tell me what I'm
telling you. Seen the problem with recursive logic ? I was making a
statement about alarm and fear being different things. I never transposed
those definitions onto you personally. I was stating that generally no
matter how much you paraphrase those two words do not mean the same thing
and operate usually in different but related contexuality.

In your claimed summary (which doesn't actually summarise your first quote,
but instead expands on it) that doesn't actually match what you originally
said. You never used the word alarmed until you said ...

">So basically you're going to judge a publication that's still in
development
>on a post that I made in Usenet ?

No. I said it's alarming. You want to put words in my mouth again, but
that's your problem, again.
"

... which you actually said AFTER you said ...

"
That you'll act like an idiot, just like you have in this thread.
Leaving a gamer or GM believing that you're misrepresenting their
words is not a good thing in an editor or writer.
"

... which in turn didn't have the word "alarming" in it. As I said in my
previous post, I don't see the word in the first quote.

Nice. Very nice. I'd never have thought to resort to saying that.

I've been learning from you, but I'm looking for a real master.
