If someone asked about OOTP on our forums I'd have no issue with Markus answering (like he would even spend the time checking our forums with as successful as OOTP is).
Second from time to time over the years I have emailed Markus and asked him questions, asked him for guidance and asked for whatever he could do to help raise our profile. From time to time OOTP has retweeted some of our stuff and we've done the same on Twitter. I have never had a negative interaction with him - if he doesn't want me to post on his forum then I would respect that but we've never had anything but a friendly relationship.
Third I wish nothing but the best for Jim, Markus and everyone else at OOTP. I don't root for FOF to fail - I've had the pleasure of meeting Jim in person and we too have talked over the years. I know that when they put out FOF it will be a great game because Jim has always made great games and OOTP puts out top notch stuff. We don't have any notions of outdoing OOTP at anything - in fact the higher they raise their profile maybe its more people that can find out that other companies like us exist.
I tried to point this out in that other thread - there are individuals here. Real people who I know or have spoken with over the years who work very hard to produce games so I root for nothing but the best for them.

As stated by others I commend Gary for his statements and I have a new found respect for Wolverine. This is the type of attitude I always got the impression Markus had, and it is refreshing to hear this from someone else. This type of attitude will help the industry to grow which is good for all involved.
