Anyway, im thinking of posting a revised version of the thread later on, with this sentence deleted:
"The latter is the reason that i dont post this thread on the CTP-2 board. I post here instead".

Im also going to censor that word "bizzare". Is that going to be enough to ease your sensitive soul, MarkG?

Finally, with "independent" i was refeering to the *game-magazines*, hence "I dont trust commercial game-magazines so much".

And again: "i still keep my thumbs crossed wishing that the Activision-team shall succeed much better with the upcoming CTP-2. Both commercially and critically!" and "Of that reason, i really wish both the Activision-team and the Firaxis-team all the luck in the world!"

Now, thats pretty nice and positive statements, dont you agree?

Some history: Markos has been a big supporter of CtP (and Civ) for a long, long time. Back in the day, things got pretty ugly around here as you can imagine with the anti-CtP people and the pro-CtP hurling senseless insults at each other. I think your post gave him a bad flashback. Just remember that CtP stuff should be posted on the CtP board, otherwise Markos is quite open-mined, and I don't think your thread would have been closed over there...

Anyway, Markos outranks me since this is his board. But I would have closed the thread myself or moved it to the CtP section. He just got there first.
