Maybe you'd have been better actually telling him that in the first place
instead of blasting him? Personally I'm not too bothered about the release
date of sims as there's plenty to be going on with as it stands. However it
would have been nice to say "Here's the evidence" to "ted" and leave him to
decide.
As for the rest of your post. I'm hurt... I really am.
No, really.

Yes.
Yes.
They exist.

Sorry ? Are you reading the same thread ?
So you wouldn't class your initial post to this thread as abusive ?
I certainly would.

This is mint. Go on then, what part of that post was abusive ?

Some people deserve abuse, the West brothers don't.

Pay attention !
Good advice, you'd be advised to use it.
Not clear at all.
Your post was abusive, just in a way which you could later say it wasn't
meant to be abusive.
Just as many of your replies since have been abusive, as well as
patronising.

BedsteadTed caught up this sorry load of drivel:
I seriously doubt if you could teach a baby stick insect to stand
still...but go on then, I'll indulge you.
You're in no position to complain.
Yours was abusive and just plain stupid, not that being stupid is a
crime, pity the fool and all that. But I still don't understand why you
didn't first ask if anyone had seen any hard evidence before assuming
that there wasn't any? You know what I think? I think you might be
completely stupid and I think you should 'put up or shut up' in that
regard, because I reckon your brain might be a 'mythical' organ and any
rummers that you're alive from the neck up might be 'too good to be
true'. So 'lets see a rolling preview at least, just to ease my fevered
mind' !
Yes, if we're talking about the space between your ears.
Condescendingly yours :)

PS note the smile, i just put that in to soften the blow.
