To Vyndree and the Dual-Boxing.com community:

First, disclaimers and apologies. Ordinarily I wouldn't necro a month stale thread, but this thread in particular has demanded my immediate response for three reasons. First, there's an ad hominem against my person. Second, said ad hominem is an accusation against me for being a hypocrite. Third, a member of my listerbase sent me feedback, and I can't find it in our email box. This email points out that I have done this community a disservice. I won't sit back and wait until Sunday to address this (even though I am going to address this Sunday). So allow me to at least save a little face by dealing with some of the constructive points before I deal with this on Sunday.

Based on the timing of the statements on the show, I said what I said during the "cleanup" segment of the show. As some of you show vets will know, the cleanup segment is usually us reacting to emails. Now that I've heard the statements in question, I can at least try to answer for making the statement. Strangely enough, I can't. I took what was more or less a shot in the dark and missed by a mile-and-a-half. Listening to it in retrospect, I more suprised I didn't mercilessly taunt the guy who got owned by the multi-boxer and went to whine on the forums. That said, I do think the greater point was missed in all of my hyperbolizing (or ignorance, if you prefer). The point was this: It's *your* money, and if you choose to spend 75 dollars a month multi-boxing 5 chars, that is 100% your perrogative. Do I think you're a fool for doing it? Yep, and that's not going to change. Do I think there's nobility in being able to solo instances or 2-man Kara on 10 toons by multi-boxing? Nope, not one shread; that's not going to change either. If you choose to do it for the sake of doing it, by all means, do so. Ordinarily, I wouldn't jump on something like that, but for whatever reason, I did. That was wrong, and it's my intention to fix it Sunday on the show.

Vyndree, I'm quite concerned that I can't find your email in the show's inbox. We generally don't delete anything excpet facebook invites, and I've looked 5 days in either direction from 24 Mar, when you said you sent it. If you wouldn't mind, please send it to the show's email address again, so I can star it appropriately so as to not forget to deal with this. It's important to myself and Hordak that we get things right when we talk about them. Sadly, RL gets in the way of us knowing everything about everything, even about WoW. I freely admit to not giving credit where it might be due, and making some inflamatory statements toward the multi-boxing community, even though I suspect, based on my inflection and tone, it was done with some amount of tongue-in-cheek behind it. In any event, I've certainly done this community a disservice, and in one of the traditions of OnHVW that I'm most proud of, I'll call attention to it on the show, and correct it as best I can.

Regards, and Flame on!
