If a few of us were angry, we'd be temp-banned right now. As it was, we're just getting frustrated. Because time and again people tried to explain one of the core rules of the game to you -- phrasing it as many different ways as we could, to aid in comprehenson -- and you essentially replied with "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU! LET'S ASK SYNNER INSTEAD OF JUST READING THE RULEBOOK! LA LA LA LA LA LA!" and that shit gets old real quick, man.
I think that with a way the rules were written my point of view was VERY valid. I did read the rulebook... and that's why I asked the question. As for ignoring you and going:

We had a discussion, and since tempers were flaring, I turned to the person who part of the team who wrote the game. I did this to get past the point of contention.

In the future, if five or six people are all telling you that you're misinterpreting a rule, and providing you with page numbers and quotes and everything else that goes with it, maybe you should open your head to the fact that maybe you're the one that's wrong. Then take a look at the rulebook, because -- trust me -- that's where game developers write down their opinions on the rules.
And maybe sometimes the person asking the question is right. Just because there are a lot of people saying the same thing does not always mean that they are right. I could use a real world example, but I don't want to invoke a version of Nazi netiquette clause.

Don't be "that guy" that always runs and gets a grown-up instead of just listening to everyone else and looking in the book, man. No one likes that guy, and that guy isn't a lot of fun to be around on a message board. Essentially, your stubborness on the issue (until Synner speaks up) is you telling everyone else on the forum that their opinions and knowledge are worthless, there's no point in talking to them, and you're not going to listen to anyone but Synner.
Excuse me Critias, I was presenting my viewpoint, you and the others presented your viewpoints. My arguements were valid. Are you saying that if you and 5 other people all agree on something that no one can argue with you and try to present an opposing viewpoint? That everyone who disagrees with you and your group are wrong? If so then... that's sad. Oh, and by the way I do listen, I just think that I brought up valid arguements.
Anyways, I think that this arguement has gone on long enough, I am bowing out before the embers get any hotter.
