Ah... hehe, missed it, my bad. Since you never answered me or gave me the url by PM I just assumed you didn't want to give it, my apologies. Don't get me wrong everyone, I have never claimed that Gubaba was wrong with his investigation, and I have no intention to do it now, Gubaba himself can attest to that, at least. Anyway, thanks for your time Gubaba, I'll take a deeper look at your blog at a later date, since it is, well, not much right now. If you manage to create that project you were talking about I am sure it will be pretty cool. In the meantime, this has been an interesting social experiment, thank you too for that... Now I can see the appeal of prolonging useless fights and fully appreciate your position! However, I personally can't stay interested in doing so for more than a few days. So good luck, and don't expect an answer here though... RL is a bit on the heavy side for me, but if you leave a PM I'll do my best to get back to you, it's the least I can do for the fun times and... it will give you fodder to complain more. Keep it cool man!

LOL, we'll see in the end, won't we? The good thing about reading the whole thing is that people can make their own conclusions, I for one think that his point encompasses all Macross discussions, intentionally or unintentionally, I think it is wise, regardless of who tells you what, to double check, right? Here's my issue, with your earlier post, really. It's not whether you agree or disagree with Shaloom's apology, you have made it abundantly clear that you don't, and I respect that. I am not going to change your mind, or try, really, although I will point out he did go out and said "it was all a lie". When I say you are twisting words, it is by implying that I do not understand why you would want reliable information from now on, or by you choosing to simply use me as an example of what you have to deal by the way you have quoted me so far. I think that's a bit of a stretch, don't you? As for your question about the book, you need to remember that I actually don't know much about Macross Books, so even if I had seen the particular book, I would not know it... which I told you and... well, yes, I did say that, I fully admit it, and I stand by it in what I thought I later explained to you clearly: I am not going to be chasing after him to clear it to the point that you want. I don't care to, since it is not going to happen whether I did or not. Thus, life continues. Pedantic, I know. But, anyway, I feel commenting more would be a borderline provocation to start a real fight over it... listen, just make sure that when you say "WD said this or that" to put up the quote, that's all I ask, ok? Anyway, read you soon. (BTW, the url?)

I won't really argue your point on this, since it would probably just start a fight no-one really wants. Mr. March has the right set of mind, I think, as I and others have pointed out to you, MG's credibility is already pretty down, however, you shouldn't have to twist words and paraphrase to prove a point, Gubaba... Or as this message I sent you on the 26th might remind you... Or more recently: If you think advocating confirmation of sources, incentives to provide accurate information and an open invitation to you and others to share whatever reliable information you have is "genuinely not understanding why you would demand a source of information" well, then I guess you are completely right and we are on two different wavelengths. As I told you before, you are free to quote me, but please, don't twist things. It is clear MG-originating info will not be trusted in the foreseeable future. Either MG grows reliable again with time, or it doesn't, in the end, whether to trust implicitly or verify it falls to the reader himself. -WD

Guess you can't reason with them (or is it just one?). You owe me an URL though, don't forget to send it! (Edit: Sorry, forgot to quote)
