>First, you don't understand what the sentence you quote means. For one, it doesn't mean "maybe".

When you said, "he may have played loose with the rules" I didn't take that to mean, "he played loose with the rules".

But, I misunderstood you and I apologize.

>if you read my message thinking I was worshiping him

I apologize if I misrepresented your opinion. However, I would hope that if you read back your glowing post in regards to Bill Gates one might get the impression you may not be aware of all the wrongs he did as CEO as well.

>you're greatly exaggerating the wrongs he did as CEO.

Can't say I agree with you there when one critically looks at the sources of evidence that supports my supposition:

>he isn't the second coming of the devil either.

No, he's not. Nor is he Hitler, etc. I apologize if within my short response to you I gave you the impression that I thought he was a spawn of Satan. I'm a bit more of a complex thinker than that, I think. But, I suppose I deserve that since I errantly implied you "worship" Gates. :D

Then again, I tend to get compared to Satan once I criticize Bill Gates in most forums, so I'll own it instead.

>Take a breath.

Thank you, I will. :)
