Dmitri King, please refer to my polite retort on the Keyro Pente Board as I do not wish to take up extra bandwidth by duplicating my reply.

Dmitri King, I refer you back to your posting of 27 March if I may and begin with a quote:

"You conveniently ignored EVERY valid point in my post, and instead you directed various personal attacks against me in a harsh and unpleasant tone"

Please don't insinuate that I deliberately ignored every valid point you made as this is not the case; it was simply that I felt no need to comment upon the points I agreed with as you got those points across adequately.

My sincere apologies if you felt there was a tone to my posting. I would confirm however that I did read your posting in full. I'm sorry if I mistranslated what you said but again would wish to refer to quotes from your posting:

"I would like to express my disappointment in the new games" and
"But, with all due respect, I must say I think the creation of these new pente variants is a serious error.".

I assumed the opinion you gave there meant you didnt enjoy them, was I mistaken?

As far as disrespecting people goes, once again I refer to the above quotes which led me to believe that your opinion is that these variations shouldn't be here which I thought could be taken as disrespectful to those who may be playing and enjoying them.

Finally I refer you to your statement:

"That is a terrible debating tactic"

and would wish to say that whilst my debating techniques may or may not be as good as yours, I am still entitled to express my opinion. It would be a very sad day if we began debating debating techniques on these boards, and a waste of bandwidth I feel. I don't believe it is constructive to be criticising the way people express their opinions.

Walter Montego, thank you for posting. Quote:

"You accuse him of making blanket statements and then in the very next paragraph you make one yourself!"

I just wish to point out that I am in fact a lady...lol.

To conclude this posting I will just say that I am finished with this debate as the last thing I wish to do is to fight about it on these boards.

Dmitri King, I feel compelled to reply to your posting in view of the fact that you have quoted part of my previous posting (on the brainking.com board) where I stated that the smaller pente and small keyro pente should be fun.
You referred to me as "someone" and "the person".

You typed "The person did not elaborate, and I cannot figure out HOW exactly the games will be more fun than the existing versions." I have to stress that I did NOT say that the smaller versions would be MORE fun than existing versions, simply that the new versions should be fun. It was not a comparison! Neither is there anything to elaborate on here. Fun is straight forward.

Fencer is working very hard on this amazing site. Unlike you, I don't consider games that I personally don't happen to enjoy to be a disappointment, as I am fully aware that other people may enjoy those games. That's what this site is about. It's about doing what we enjoy doing, playing games.

Please don't assume that everyone on this site is here to play serious games with similar ambition to yourself. I would imagine the majority here are actually here to play casual games and are here for the enjoyment and fun, without the dedication or commitment that you yourself show to one game in particular.

Whilst I respect the fact that you take your games very seriously, I would in turn ask you to respect the fact that many of us are here for fun only, and are not as dedicated or ambitious as yourself.

Once again, I wish to thank Fencer for creating this site and for all the time and effort his puts in.
