You seem to have a major chip on your shoulder Erol, one that causes
you to insist on taking a knew-jerk worst case view.

Here's the quote:

"Good for you, I'm sure you happy with the result. Myself, even
talking
about it is distasteful let alone playing it."

Here I meant "talking about" to reference "the concept" in addition to
"playing it", i.e. actual game experience. I often use terms like
"talk", "exchange", "speaking" etc to reference conceptual ideas being
debated rather than the physical action. Likely poor useage, no idea
where I picked up the habit. But it should be familar to anyone who
has read my posts over the years (like Warren).

Instead of assuming the insult, it may have been better to ask if I
intended to say I hated the very exchange of ideas I was engaged in.
The answer would have likely defused your objection, if not your
emotions.
