LOL. Me checks the subject of the post. Yup, still says "Petition for a
fully localized german version." Pardon me for assuming a figure you'd use
to demonstrate the interest in a "Petition for a fully localized german
version." would be completely arbitrary. Yes, there are 100 Million German
speaking europeans (according to you, I've not checked that fact out). I
was simply trying to understand why you continue to post that number as
though it were a valid piece of evidence for your arguement.

This was my way of attempting to bow out with dignity. I honestly meant no
offence. I simply meant that you've made your case, a few others have made
theirs and at this point you're defending it past the point it needs to be
defended. I speak from experience on this, as I'm the king (or master chief
if you will) of over defending a post. There's just nothing more to
discuss, unless you want to continue to wave your fist at me.

See, now this kills me. You accuse me of getting personal when you, in this
very same post said:
"You'r capable of reading, but understanding seems to be a bit too
difficult."
"Guess you didn't figure that out."
and
"But _you_ are the master chief of numbers and languages. *sic*"
So get off your high horse. You're the only one insulting intelligence
here. I happen to think you're a smart person, and have already apologized
for making you feel that I've insulted you in anyway... and I meant it.

I can't seem to find anywhere where I "bitched" about other people who don't
speak English as their native language. I do take offense to anyone who
expects special treatment because they're different. So I don't give a
flying turd if you speak German as your native language, but if you feel you
have the right to demand that a company take their product and modify it
because it's not in German then I'll bitch about it, cause you don't have
that right.
So yeah, I'd much rather play T3 than continue this pointless argument. But
thanks for the sparring practice
