Come again? Where does it say I haven't embellished anything? I already told you plain, simple, and straight forward that Deb is not actually an illegal immigrant, but infact sounded rather anglo-saxxon on the phone.

I think that hyperboles like that tend to be quite obvious, if you're not already looking to pick a knit with me. Had you tried to enjoy it like everyone else who read and enjoyed it, you might have gotten the jist of things.

CPhil,

I don't mean that you need to apologize. I was just saying that maybe it was the same sort of thing. Obviously, ShytKicker likes to go all-out when it comes to telling a story. There's no doubt in my mind that he may be playing it up a little bit.

I definitely respect that you were getting into the mood of RPing the Civil War. In my opinion, we need more people who will get into RPing, and to stop KSing and camping...oh wait, I'm starting on my MMORPG rant again!

Other than that, I respect both of your opinions. Obviously, you've had different interactions with AA.

Yep... you did. You attacked AA's credibility. Not only that you slandered specific people and now are livid over someone calling you on it.

Thats a back track....

I did enjoy it. To some extent...

Oh and AA wants to see the results of your finger printing. Embellishment too?

From AA: Regarding the testing
issue...EVERY repair, new product, or service call MUST be tested prior to
the item being moved to the building next door for shipping. The testing of
the unit is recorded and the output pressure is set to factory
specifications. Which leads me to believe what you said about dirty air
fills. So if "Mr." Holterman has "finger printed" the regulator (as he makes
reference to one of his posts) I would be really interested in seeing not
only his proof but also his results

Only that one of us knew what we were talking about. You, on the other hand, refferenced your major source of insight as... vibes?

Which is fair enough. It is every man's right to make an *** of one's self.

Oh, *ahem* it's Monday afternoon. Aren't you stalling a bit? You DO have a telephone call to make.

[cphilip]

I have already provided you with some of AA's responses. I going to give them to you slowly but surely...Calls already made and everything. So far you seem to be changing your story a bunch now too... And nothing has backed you up at all at this point.

Just because you're putting words in my mouth doesn't mean I'm backtracking. It's very simple. I never said that, and now you're saying that I did.

Ah, don't suppose you care to share the rest of that EMail?

And I can only imagine the joke that this email was. "Hey, this guy says he fingerprinted the tank he got back." Real reliable.

And for everyone not 'in the know,' that's not a refference to the writing in question, but a follow-up post on that board based on forum feed-back. It can't possibly even be TAKEN litterally.

Trust me when I say, if I dusted this tank for fingerprints, we would not see hide nor hair of Air America's 'trained professionals.'

Sounds like somebody's been misquoting me again.

[cphilip]

He read the comment himself. Was not in response to any question I had. I didn't even see it until he responded to it to me. I think again thats an accusation you made without considering the results it might have.

And don't go complaining to me if someone else is taking it literaly. You wrote it and just now you are trying to claim "missunderstanding" as your defense. You didn't early on. You stuck to the story. So its a little too late for that dodge. Your flat out having to admit most of it was indeed made up aren't you? Now your constantly claiming it was all a joke.. You didn't claim that earlier.... but...Ooops! You just did!

He said misquote, not misunderstand. I see him still standing ground. I've yet to see him back down.

Definitions of misunderstand on the Web:

interpret in the wrong way; "Don't misinterpret my comments as criticism"; "She misconstrued my remarks"

Definitions of MISQUOTE on the Web:

quote incorrectly; "He had misquoted the politician"

Hmmm.... me putting words in YOUR mouth.... sounds like something you have spent most of your time doing to me so far. And check back.... you put em there yourself. You stood by your story verbatim until today. Acted all insulted when I questioned it. Poor baby... I guess turn about is fair play though if thats what you want to call it.

[Shykicker]

Care to quote me on that?

Earlier, I said I was not a racist.

Today I said I was not speaking literally.

Particularly about Deb. (I thought that was BLATANTLY obvious, but then again, some people took "A Modest Proposal" literally.) I don't think that marrs my credibility at all, unless you're willing to make the ad-hominem leap of faith that anyone with a sense of literary humor is a liar.

Neither of those have to do with eachother. Re-reading these things, yourself, might do you good. These are fairly simple distinctions to grasp.

Out of curiosity, did you actually believe I had scrawled tallies accross my wall, too?

You stood by your story verbatim until today. Acted all insulted when I questioned it.

Did I? Care to quote the passage where I said, "Oh, by the way, the whole writing is entirely literal. Fire away, boys!" It's not my fault if you're too dense to pick up on it.

Oh no he is not backing down. Even if the face of challenge that it was all made up for the most part. He is admitting he made a lot of embellishments now though. But not backing down. Now claiming its all our fault for missinterpreting is now his argument. Very well may be. But wasn't his argument before. Seems its just a new excuse.

Now that I can accept. It would be easier to accept heartfelt explanations if they were not accompanied by insult but for the sake of argument I will indeed accept that you were attempting to create a humerous story out of a basic frustration that you had. And thats certainly an acceptable explanation. If thats what you are attempting to do then fine.. I will accept that explanation.
