First, to those concerned, my apologies for hijacking and ruining the "goodbye from a referee" thread. Second, just gonna finish my reply to our dearest ACCCT since that thread was closed...and nobody can really say this thread has gone off track because it's off the track from the start...and don't worry I won't drag it on for 'Dave Alvarez' length. Plus, this is still funny to me, haha...
(On a side note, don't be confused, ACCCT's quotes are in bold which was added by me to the already substantial amount of unnecessary bolding going on in the original posts.)
"Secondly, I'd like you to show me the quote where I "insulted" (or insinuated) you as being "a small-time peon" -- you can't, because it was never done (however, if something inside of you makes you feel that way, all I can say is that's your problem, now isn't it)."
As I'm sure your intellect can understand, insinuating and implying is relative, it's a matter of whether or not I feel an insult was implied or insinuated. And, in this instance, I did. Can I quote you using the words "small time peon"? Obviously not. Your advanced intellect should be able to understand the hyperbole at use in those words.
"I only mentioned something that is an absolute fact: you don't know anything about the 200,000 Euro event"
This goes back to the original intent of asking the complicated question of 'what's going on with your event'? Such a question does not merit a bloated response like you originally gave. All I needed was that line about how you guys want to keep it under wraps for now which you gave in like your 4th response, instead of giving me the one sentence reply I needed and it would have been over on your first reply. On that note, I'd like to officially assign the blame for ruining the "goodbye from a referee" thread to you. Ha!
"Just what is "out of line" in your book -- accusing someone of saying something they didn't (like "alex" did)? Or would it be getting your facts wrong (as "alex" did)? Or could it be calling someone (including himself) derogatory names (like "alex" did)? Or should it be twisting the timbre, tone and meaning what was said and is in fact on the record into something not even remotely close (as "alex" did)? -- Whatever, dipsey-dudes -- "simmer down", indeed. If anything, I'd call "alex's" completely inaccurate and irresponsible way with words and the truth a truly "ridiculous writing style"."
Where did I twist the "timbre, tone, and meaning" of what was said? (Great use of alliteration by the way) Where did I make it into something not remotely close? You did say, as was previously "quoted", that the event was "more than 200,000." Now, you're saying it's 200,000 like it's ridiculous for me to have ever thought it was more...Maybe, it was YOU twisting around your own facts!!!
"And finally, the thread "lost all direction" because of what "alex" in fact did, not me."
Please "refer" to earlier in this "response" where you were officially "assigned" blame for that "thread" losing "direction".
