Thanks for noticing. I have never encountered a poster with such a persecution complex.
Persecution complex? I posted my thoughts on the topic of the poor officiating in the game and its impact on people's perception of the game. You took my comments out of context and tried to make more of them than what was intended. I will admit that I likely mis-spoke one or two words that could be interpreted incorrectly. For that, I apologize. I even retracted my comments to Brando about "no one" making such conspiracy claims. However, you did persist with the argument when I stated that I was clearly finished with it because I could see where the discussion was headed. I congratulated the Steelers for winning the game, even though it is unfortunate that at the present time their championship is clouded by the poor officiating. I nor you have any control over that, however, you continually respond with more questions about a subject that I am finished with. Your team won the game. End of story.

This is the first time I can ever remember have an issue with you. Any other time an issue of this type can usually be traced to one or two people and we all know who they are. Most of the threads you describe have involved EA, not ones of this nature. I have come to expect some combativeness in threads regarding EA, but not in threads like this one. At the end of the day, you did not like what I had to say about the officiating and you took exception to it even though others used words far more accusatory than I did. Not sure why you chose to focus on my comments, but that is water under the bridge as far as I am concerned.
I am disappointed in how this thread has turned out. It certainly was not my intention, but I will take responsibility for my actions.

You did not embarrass me at any time. I embarrassed myself by not looking the thread over before making the comments I did regarding a "consipiracy". My bad. Pretty sure I admitted such in a response to Brando. End of story.
As far as the combative piece, I tried several times to lay the discussion down and walk away, yet you kept responding and bringing up more questions that I felt were unnecessary. If "combative" was too strong of a word, my apologies. Maybe "persistence" would have been better. If so, I stand corrected. My learning from this is to never state "I am done with this thread" because there is always someone who is going to do their best to keep it going. I should know better.
You probably don't even realize you do it, but you have done it quite a bit in the past.
