Magpie:
I'd make a slight adjustment there. It's more like if the person had 
heard rumors that I played Russian roulette and then I gave them a 
gun. I still neglected to tell them that I had that metal plate in my 
head but I didn't go so far as to demonstrate anything or tell them 
it was safe at all. In fact, I wouldn't do that anyway because we 
hate each other, which is also why any ideas he had about how my own 
games went was speculation based on whatever information he got from 
a distance.:-)
