Out of all of this fuss around the comments made by Ron during the first game of the series, I have retained the fact that his comments were immediately corrected during the second game. He explained what he meant and mentioned that he had used the wrong words to express his thoughts. Everyone here has probably at one time or another spoken words that did not exactly match what they were thinking. That is what happened there. I read and heard Ron's apology in that context, and as far as I am concerned the matter is closed.
