Purple, Peastain, Manager guy, all have the same trait, just be plain angry and mean.
OK, I'll take you at your word that you meant the "dark side" when you said the "other side". But talk about mean and angry! What would you call it when you called Drank a cancer? I've never heard Drank say anything that mean.

Your take is not fair given our record here, my mistake was not clarifying the other side and its unintended consequence.
You're surprised that I would jump to that conclusion? This is what you said in response to a guy who simply asked how long the two groups were separated in the DAL/NWA merger. You responded to that question this way:

It was not only unresponsive, but totally wrong. NWA had Seattle, while you guys had LA. We didn't "flood" the west coast base of LA any more than you "flooded" the west coast base of Seattle. And I know you know that, but you said this anyway. It's posts like this that made me take that conclusion.

It would not have. The dark side is a much different phrase than the "other side" phrase you chose to use. But if you say that's not what you meant, then I take you at your word.

You're junior to me. There's no way you're buying.
