    Orda... I'm lost for words.

    If you take offense at my post, I appologise unreservedly. It certainly wasn't meant that way. If you want me to edit my post, I'll do that too, just point out the bits that need to go.

    In your last post, you seem to think that I'm saying 'don't complain' which is akin to "you'll eat everything that you put on your plate, including the mushy peas!"

    You must realise this isn't what I'm saying... Really Puzz, I don't know why you have to be so aggressive. You sound seriously stressed m8. This is a fansite for a game, let's get things into perspective.
    I thought (clearly incorrectly) that I had managed to set a light enough tone to say what I felt needed to be said.

    Just in case it's the 'keep taking the pills' that you're taking offense to, where I come from and whenever I've ever heard it used it has been a lighthearted way of ending a tough conversation. For example, I may be struggling with my work, and someone might say before leaving "See you later, and keep taking the pills"

    If it's this that you're referring too:
    In the meantime, I've got no problem with you. Nothing personal, but it's much easier to read other people's complaints than it is yours, because of the manner of expressing those complaints.
    This was meant to take any sting out of my previous comment, which could be taken personally. As to the comment itself, I'm sure Puzz would be the last person to deny he is bitter about RTW, and when you feel that way, it is very hard to notice or stop it lingering in what you say. Sometimes it takes an outside observer to tell me when I'm being bitter, and I was trying to do this whilst at the same time keeping both of your respects.

    I have clearly failed and if you can help improve my communication skills, then please do so.

    Now for a bit of pettyness myself - I am very dissapointed that you responded in such a petty manner Orda. Not only have you directly attacked me, but you've commented (in a rather unsubtle attempt at subtlety) on my knowledge of the Totalwar series from beginning to end. I would like an appology for that.

    Then, for my sake if not for anyone else's, let's drop the tension level a bit.
