Sonic X-treme update

[aetherfox]

jb, my point was, that yes, although I said that I would take it down, I realised that I couldn't do something I believe so strongly against, and so I emailed you and apologized.
Again, you are under the impression that I left the message up there to offend you. I repeat -- THIS IS NOT TRUE. I left it up because I do not believe in the idea of editing out posts for a reason completely unrelated to you. That you took that personally is not really something I would have imagined, seeing as how I actually apologized for it, or that you got so offended by it that you've escalated it to something that it is not.
Anyway, I've already expressed the fact that I wasn't upset or all that.

I wish bullies here were as nice as the ones you meet.

And while I honestly don't care, leaving a forum over something like this is shallow.

vongodric: "Violent Observer" is an analogy for honesty, and keeping people in check. I am not the kind of person that will sidestep a harsh comment into some nice euphemism. If the truth is harsh, so be it. I personally think that is a good thing, and I know that there are many people who agree with me, though not necessarily on this forum where I seem to have made a surprising number of enemies. Oh well. Life goes on.

And I don't see how this is a flamewar. Oh sure, it's a heated argument, but I'm not 'flaming'.

And Pete: What Na_th_an and I are saying is that the game COULD have been of a high quality if some effort had gone into originality. The reason that most QB games are of poor quality graphics and music wise is being of time and skill constraints. As I know it, SonicX has been in production for a long time, continually improving. Imagine if over the course of this time, it was made into a completely original game. JB can't do graphics? No problem, it takes a while but an artist can be found. JB can't make music? No problem, that is something that can be picked up with will.

You seemed to imply that you thought na_th_an and I guess myself are those "self-righteous" people you are talking about. I honestly don't know where you got that from, but I assure you, that is not us. And yes, I know na_th_an well enough to say that.

Meh.
