Rezyk, I asked for comments, not belittling snide remarks. I believe it is important to define what we are listing here and important to tell the users what they are seeing here. Why do you find that unnecessary? --Karlos 16:56, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Hey man, I truly did not mean it as any sort of "belittling snide remark" and am sorry (and somewhat confused) that you saw it that way. I do not find having a definition unnecessary/unimportant, just some of the details you have.  Ummm..could you have perhaps mistakenly thought that I deleted the entire definition when in reality I just modified it? --Rezyk 20:31, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Ok, if you really took such offense to my remark, I think you need to take a hard look at the way you commonly phrase things to others. All I did was say that some of your stuff was "unnecessary"; this is a routine point of debate -- what is really necessary and what is not.  On the other hand, you have said to me before that my stuff is "completely unnecessary", "completely lacking in objectivity", "completely confusing", "makes absolutely no sense".  Even if you believe them, those extra quantifiers served no purpose other than belittlement.  --Rezyk 21:10, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Agreed wholeheartedly with Rezyk: I like his more concise edit, and you're reacting extremely harshly. &mdash;Tanaric 11:03, 9 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * I agree with both of you. I am sorry. Given past disputes between us, I assumed a tone that was not there. I apologize. You had no way of saying they were unnecessary without saying they were unnecessary. With regards to my use of adjectives, I am sorry if you find them offensive, I use them for emphasis, not belittlement, and they come from a cultural background. This is the way we often speak in Arabic. I know it does not translate well. It's hard to kick old habits. --Karlos 16:13, 9 Oct 2005 (EST)

Wait a second! Accepting I reacted improperly does not mean I accept the edit. We DO need to tell this information to users. i.e. that we WILL list software sanctioned by Arena Net and that which is not. OR in pages of software that is NOT sanctioned by Arena Net, we tell people that this is software that is not approved or recommended by ANet. We owe the people that. If someone's personal data gets robbed off their PC because on of those tools is a trojan, we should feel bad about it. So, let us place this kind of disclaimer somewhere. --Karlos 18:00, 10 Oct 2005 (EST)
