I'm sorry for the mess, as well.<br/><br/>I regret the wasted time and effort, both in bringing my additional character into the game, and then on the resulting argument.  I'm sorry Brandon feels persecuted, especially since he was<em>getting his way </em>(in that I was not going to work with him).  Given his contribution to the game thus far, it is unfortunate that he will not be more missed.  I had looked forward to working with him, which explains (but does not excuse) my vehemence.<br/><br/>This was not a zero sum game.<br/><br/>And there's an end to it.  Anybody wishing to growl at me further, please do so by PM.
