You know, I was tempted to post the absolutely inane and moronic PM you sent meWhat the heck? Now you are calling the PM inane and moronic? There was nothing in that PM that called for this and I'm posting the PMs. BTW, I PMed you to keep this out of the topic, but now that you are being rude I'll post this in topic.
My first PM:
I didn't intend to start that stupid argument in the Ms. Pac-Man topic. I was expecting edwithmj to be civil from his other posts, but he didn't even listen to half what I said. I don't feel that your last posts helps the situation much, though. It just makes light of the whole situation. I was hoping for some help too. I'm not very good in situations where people make baseless assumptions and refuse to listen.
The reply:
I was making light of it so everyone calmed down. Honestly, from what I read, I have to side with him on this one. It really makes no sense that you went off and started a huge flame about something he clearly didn't even really care much about. He just threw some crap out there real quick and you ran with it to the extreme. Your responses seem to imply he was rude or stupid initially and thus you have to show him the truth in the matter, but it's clear throughout he could really give a crap. In one of his later responses he's quite civil about it but you pushed him anyway.
All he said was:
Just thought he might want the name of the publisher since that might help him find out more information on the game. It's on wikipedia anyway. Since I didn't know the developer, I thought the closest thing to help knightwarrior would be to give him the publisher since he might not have the box.
And then you go off on him. You have some cool information in there, but it's a little hard to pull some of it out when you come off with a tone that suggests you're being an bottom hole. You could have just said it in a nice way, but you come off as very mean towards him when there doesn't appear to be any clear reason why you're doing it. Though he probably shouldn't have prodded you again, I probably would have. Inside of that he says quite clearly what he meant the whole time:
All I wanted to say in this thread is that Tengen published the game and that I hoped that would help knightwarrior. I never implied it would help, I never implied Tengen developed it, all I said was I hope that helps which I hoped would help his investigation.
If you look at what he wrote above in the thread, that's exactly what he does, he just lists a little info thinking it might help and that's it. Then you went apeshit and it's really quite strange why you even do it. Tone it down.
Another PM to me:
Ha. Okay, go ahead and tell them. If you haven't noticed, I'm one of the two main administrators and I've been running most of this site solo for like the past three years including the forum. No one cares man, it's Ms. Pac-Man. If you find out who programmed it, it would be interested information, but you're way out of line on how you're taking things. You're taking everything way too personally and taking your own comments at more than they're worth. All you have to do is respond like this:
Hmmm, I did some research. Tengen can't be the publisher because etc etc etc, not sure who the programmer is because of etc etc etc, I'm going to do research and figure this out!
Instead, you do something like this:
Not sure what you're thinking, just because it's on the box doesn't mean it's the programmer MORON, why would the box matter MORON, etc etc etc
MORON inserted there to give you the feeling of the assumed tone you have as you're writing it. Calm down already, it's a damn forum and a minor detail about a game ported to every system under the sun.
my reply:
That's not what I did and I included LINKS in one of my posts. I linked to Tiertex's site that clearly has a picture of Ms. Pac-Man and mentioned that the other Tengen versions of Ms. Pac-Man had different developers. I'm sorry, but his post came of as "I showed him the box, MORON", "I'm not replying to your other stuff MORON", "Ms. Pac-Man wasn't made by GCC becuase it says it's from Midway on Wikipedia, even though it now says it's from GCC on Wikipedia, MORON". And this post basically came off as, I'm not listening to you because I'm the head admin, MORON.
