OK,g,

I owe you an apology and such things should be done promptly.

I spoke in heat and without due consideration for both your experience and stature in Stars! and the fact that you are a creator and giver of tools to enhance this game that we all so dearly love.

I reacted to two things. I am wired so that insults or slights to myself mean very little but slights (real or perceived) to my friends are a different matter. The second was the catch 22 inherent in a system that said "to get in you have already had to play by my rules", that rankled because the only reason I wanted to post on that thread was to argue for another perspective. I loath injustice and to me that reeked of it. This being said it still does not condone either my tone or the manner in which I wrote to you.

I posted because I wanted to gift two people who could gain nothing by playing me. They gave me a huge gift of knowledge and pleasure and it would have been pleasing to me to think of their surprise if they ever managed to stumble across that thread. I've been gaming for 38 of my 48 years and I've pretty much quit keeping score at this point. I game to game. I play to win but a hard fought game that goes against me is far more satisfying (and fun) than a turkey shoot that I win.

Again, I spoke in heat and in haste and I spoke very badly indeed. For this I am, truly, sorry.

Jack McKenty
