A Letter From Paul Steed

Seeing as how Paul Steed, model dude over at id Software doesnt really have a "public forum" to post his thoughts in rebuttal to a recent Dear Mynx column, well here I am with a web page so I'm forking it over for ya guys. This is a letter from Paul Steed in reference to "Paul Steed, The Man, The Myth, The Fad" in the August 19th edition. Here is the opening of the letter from Mr. Steed:

While I think you exaggerate about the number of times I had women surrounding me at QuakeCon, I'd like to point out that I paid those girls to hang out.  The reason why I did this is of course the obvious stir it would cause, but more importantly the frivolous, guy-oriented entertainment value of the act.  Thankfully most women who have cared to share their opinion of that sad...er said act have done so positively or at worst ambivalently.
Oh, my 2 cents. If I could convince hot girls to run around in tight clothing and hang all over me I would do it too. Oh btw check out the letter right above the one for Steed in Dear Mynx. Muahahaha.

  • And I thought it was british people that were sexually repressed, most of the ranters on this subject are american right? I thought you lot were meant to be less inhibited and not hung up on shit like this?

    I\'ll make it simple.
    men like women, men think about women, men talk about women.
    women like men, women think about men, women talk about men.

    Theres nothing wrong with that. Is the issue that Steed was hanging out with lovely ladies (that he paid for tho not just for his own enjoyment) in a room full of for the most part sweaty young men?

    Can you blame ANY man for that?

    I read someone say steed\'s not allowed to talk about other women cos hes married (essentially). Get a life, or better yet get a moderm woman as your girlfriend and realise a few things like its ok for you BOTH to look at and talk about other women.

    Its only when you rub uglies without permission that it becomes an issue. Or is everyone thats bitching on this list about this subject just sexually repressed invertebrae?

    I hope so, cos thats how you sound when you when about somoene talking confidently about the opposite sex...

  • A former Air Force guy with real intelligence...go figure. It\'s always interesting when others feel compelled to share personal motivations. By the way, I beg to differ. For those that have seen your work from Origin to id Software (which is just about everybody, whether they knew it or not), you\'ll be well known by this community for a \"long time\" to come. Come on, you\'re at the top of your peer job...don\'t get humble on us now ;) Well, here\'s looking forward to all the new models in Q3A.
