assistant: *** Quoting Jeff Nelson to Joe Grover dated 08-10-96 ***
    What got up YOUR ass?  My post was entirely correct.  Someone asked the
question, "What is the purpose of MK3?  It sucks, blah blah blah," And I
answered it.   If someone who didn't like video games came on here and asked
what good THEY were, my response would have looked very much like yours,
being for entertainment.  The entire point of my post, however <as it appears
it was too complicated for your adolescent mind to grasp> was that MK3--or
any game that this person may not like--is for entertainment.  Whoever posted
the message wanted to know why MK3 was so popular, because, "It's just
hitting a bunch of buttons etc., etc.,."  The person didn't like MK3, so was
touting it as a worthless game.  I don't like MK3, either, but just because I
don't like it doesn't mean that everyone else doesn't, too.  I was just
letting the moron know that what's entertaining for one person isn't
entertaining for everyone, so maybe YOU should think a little before you
spout your nonsense.  There's a saying: It's better to be silent and be
thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
