Peter Moore seems like such a nice guy, doesn't he? Well, he too can be pushed over the edge. Back in the day, Mr. Moore used to work for Sega. This was at the time when the Dreamcast was out. As we all know, the Dreamcast was facing increasing competition from the PS2, and Moore set out to see what the public perception of Sega was. He collected data from a focus group that basically said that Sega has lost its cool.

Mr. Moore took these audio sessions back to Japan to play for Yuji Naka, creator of Sonic. Naka heard the information, and accused Moore of tampering with the audio. This got Moore so angry that he told the translator to tell Naka 'F$%^ you'. Of course, the translator wouldn't fulfill this request, but they didn't have to. Naka lived in North America for a stint, and had a grasp of the language. Needless to say, Moore never went back for a second visit.
