Pleased to see that not only my gutfeeling was right, but that i was right all along. Thank you Noah, you cant imagine what that means to me. :)
Now for the usual round of clarifications and i am ready to have a nice day:
Yes, you've got me there. Obviously, I displayed an absolute "unwillingness".
The old words-twisting. Boring, but a nice opener. Problem here is that i never spoke of any 'absolute unwillingness', but that i merely said and i quote:
"i dont think he is willing". 'I dont think' being the operative words here, you know, as in being apprehensive, hesitant, sceptical? Im sure you see the difference now, but since i was right anyway, does it even matter? Probably not,...
To be hesitant and apprehensive is only natural for anyone after the things you've said.
First of all; its not. For you maybe, but generally it is not. Because the very purpose of two persons entering into talks is obviously to get
beyond what was said and done earlier, not to keep holding whatever they said or did against them. If you do that, you dont need to talk. And i for one made it very clear that i am willing to focus on a productive relationship, so a reason for being apprehensive and hesitant was not given. On the contrary, i approached you 100% non-judgemental and fair-minded and even let you in on my future plans regarding the VIP, which i was willing to include you in if we settle the issues. What i got in return is history.
Second of all, all of this is entirely beside the point because the reason you gave for your 'apprehension and hesitance' was the behaviour of other people at PN and not me.
Back out of what?
Desperate? Sometimes I wonder how anyone can have such outlandish misconceptions.
Its odd, isnt it? How anyone could *possibly* think that somebody is trying to back out when they keep claiming they do want to settle things, yet keep bringing on nothing but lame excuses whenever the other is trying to get down to business?
Especially when we consider that this has been the very modus operandi right from the beginning and remained unchanged ever since? Very,
very odd in deed. I dont know, but you really must be thinking everyone in the world is stupid except you.
In my opinion the truth is this; after all that happened you simply didnt think that i would ever be actually willing to talk, hence my sudden approaching you with friendliness and proverbial open arms forced you into the 'unfortunate' situation of having to find some way of getting out of it without making it clear beyond the shadow of a doubt that settling things with me is actually the last thing you would
ever want to do as that would have proven one for all times that i was right about you all along. Its either that or you really meant to settle things
that first day but somehow regretted it later because you felt it would be too 'demeaning' to 'give in to an enemy', especially if that 'enemy' is Phoenixx1771 who had the guts to speak out loud what a lot of people were and still are thinking. In fact it might well be a bit of both, otherwise you would have come up with something better than
'i am apprehensive because of PN members', which are obviously people whose actions i have nothing to do with at all,...
Your PM lists demands, not a solution at all to our differences,
The demands WERE the solution genious, if you dont recognize that then you just
cant be very smart. I mean come on, you didnt seriously expect that 'solving the issue' means that i eventually give in while your contribution is limited to sweettalking me, did you? That concept might have worked with others, but with me solving an issue requires that you meet me half way at the least, otherwise you might as well save your breath.
(For the record: What i 'demanded' (i personally prefer 'requested') was 1) to put a note on the site, anywhere at his discretion, that says that VPForums was originally founded by AJ, and 2) that he stops using the name 'VPForums' in case AJ ever comes back and states that he doesnt want him to use it.)
and after your previous threats, the only response that comes to mind is, "We don't negotiate with terrorists."
The 'terrorists' bit, well, lovely and all, but coming from you it sounds rather hilarious. In my opinion you should really leave those kinds of lines to people who are talking to
you, because at least then it makes sense. Still thanks for the entertainment and of course for proving my point one more time.
As for the rest, i assure you that threats will be the least of your problems if you do plagiarize my concept even though you have my express permission to distribute the VIP. (Which you still dont, do you?) In fact i have already gathered a few interesting informations and lets just say that i am 'fairly pleased' by what i have found out. So for fairness sake i urge you again to take this seriously because i am not just fooling around here. If you think i was pissed when i saw that you stole AJs forumname even though the original site was still online then you verily aint seen nothing yet. But it
can be arranged if necessary, and believe me, it will,...
