<< BS= Bullshit >>

Thanks. English is not my native language and I didn't realise its meaning.

On the rest of your message, you are missing an important point: You are NOT referring to my original thread nut to a reaction to a response to that original thread by David. I mean, when I started the thread I did it in a constructive way. David's reaction was aggressive. I answered to aggression with aggression. But I didn't start it. On the contrary.
Don't believe me? Go read David's comments. The ones to which I reacted. They include expressions such as "Bwahaha...", "anal-retentive", and other rude expressions.

<< The context that you used "bullshit" in indicates that you not only think that the review is not accurate but also completely made up >>

Not at all. In fact I used the BS word in reaction to David's "anal retentive". BTW, anal-retentive is directed at me, in person, while BS is not directed at David but at what he writes. The first term is a direct offense while the second is not. Now, Mike, who was offending whom? Who started it up?

And, no it does not mean I think the review is made up in the sense you're using this expression. I believe David read the book and gave us a good depiction of the same. It was diminished by the fact he made wrong and unfounded comparisions. That's all. And that's all you can infer from what I've written so far.

<< If I am correct you already own this book and have read/played it. >>

No, I don't. And I consider that David provided me with a lot of valuable information on it. I said this from the start and have been keeping saying it. Is it so hard to retain it and to realize I'm saying what I think here?

<< Don't just insult people >>

I didn't. In this case - and don't read this as a personal offense because it is not - you are misreading the whole discussion. You are concentrating in some of the expressions I used out of context. Please, review it all and explain why you are focuzing your attention on me when you should be doing it on David.
