But that does not give you the right to make it something even more than it is

Wow, you must be a very upset person, upset everytime someone makes a minor misquote regarding megacompanies like Microsoft and Sony (which is more common with regard to Sony, due to various reasons, including Japanese to Engrish translations)!

Wow.  So you supposedly can not only divine who I know and associate with in New York all the way from the Netherlands, but you can decide that I am someone who is "a very upset person, upset everytime someone makes a minor misquote regarding megacompanies like Microsoft and Sony".  You get this simply because I point you out as being hypocritical for being critical of others doing the same thing you are, just that you think its ok when its in favor of Sony, because you are a PS3 fanboy?  I like how you leave off the rest of my sentence, which had: "especially when you get off on complaining about others doing the same thing."  

So, no I hardly have an issue with someone admitting a misquote.  And in fact, as a man of my word I do indeed applaud you Mike for admitting your statement was not accurate.  I really hope one day you'll see that thats really all most folks want from you, to admit when you make an obvious mistake.  I think you'd find if you did that you'd have a lot more fans of when you do get it right.  

We also need to look at this in context.  You are not casual in your posts on these subjects.  You are methodical.  Your craft your messages, you cherrypick what you need to meet your pre-determined goals and from that you obviously have built up quite the library of links.  When you want to obscure context you don't link, you just quote the section that suits the impression you want to convey.  If you don't feel the need/necessity to obsurce context you sometimes provide the link.

So, when I say you don't have the right to make it something even more than it is, its for the two reasons above.  Its not because I get "upset everytime someone makes a minor misquote regarding megacompanies like Microsoft and Sony".  

I think you are already well aware of the above.  But you really don't have much left but to go for trying to divert this on me.  This last line of your post is a perfect example:

Or alternatively you can take a step back and be more rational and think maybe Microsoft should have been clearer, more honest and direct.

You did this, its pretty desperate actually, given that my post clearly agreed with you on the above point in regard to Microsoft:

"Indeed I AGREE with you that such statements could easily be viewed at this time as misleading. But as you are well aware that was not the point I was making....I find it crappy and misleading from the quotes you gave so far."

I mean I know propoganda is about repitition, but geez dude, do you think people won't notice that, only two posts apart in the very same thread??
