I have a feeling that I overreacted a bit too. It's just that I've seen that kind of response a few times before within the Myst community and it put me on my defence. Diplomacy? Meh, just make it up with cookies later. :P No it’s okay. I have a feeling that I overreacted a bit too.

At that point ireland was immediately polarised between protestants and catholics, the insuing mayhem in english history over a few queens and kings who just couldn't make up their mind (as far as the general population was concerned anyway) on what religion they should be eventually led to the problems in ireland we have today.

I do that too quite often. :) It's just (as Patrick can attest to, since he reminded me that this wasn't the first time I've done this) that I tend to get my dander up whenever I think someone is attacking him. And, after recent posts (not just yours ... so it wasn't aimed directly at you), well ... my dander was up. Hence the post. :) Yes, I will admit it ... I have a temper sometimes. And I am not nearly as diplomatic about it as others can be ... so I often let emotions take over before anything else. Damn, and here I was dreaming about a PR job ... guess that's out of the question. :p I do apologize if you were only kidding or playing around.

Yes, I will admit it … I have a temper sometimes. And I am not nearly as diplomatic about it as others can be … so I often let emotions take over before anything else.

I'm not expecting special-amazing-stuff right away and I am sorry if I didn't make it clear enough that I was joking. I have read other entries than this one and if I wasn't interested enough to know the state of things I wouldn't even bother to make comments here. ;) Tira if your comments were directed at me, you should know that I often joke and make remarks that are sarcastic/ironic.

This is, by no means, a "done deal", yet. They have many hoops and hurdles to pass through before this project really gets off the ground. As they said in the journal ... they're just two guys trying to get a dream to become reality. So far, the cards have been in their favor and they've gotten the support of Cyan ... but much still has to be done. I'm sorry ... it may be my over protectiveness coming out, but it annoys the heck out of me when people come on here doubting whether or not they're serious simply because there isn't more actual movie info on the site. As has been said, this is a "grass roots" effort started by two (talented) guys who wanted to see a Myst movie finally made. And they're starting at the very beginning ... with an idea, some talent, a bit of luck, and the makings of a script. And they're being nice enough to let other fans in on what they're doing. So to have people come in here and doubt their sincerity when they don't have to do any of this to begin with ... when all the hard work they've been putting into it could be ripped out from under them at any moment by a big studio stepping in and deciding to go another way with it ... is, to say the least, a bit insulting. So yeah, for anyone here expecting a movie in the next year or so ... I hate to disillusion you, but you're going to have to wait. This is the journal of two guys' journey to hopefully making a Myst movie a reality .... not an update site. They never claimed otherwise.
