Sorry. His posts reek of mockery to me. I don't
think I'd assume he was a real TMO TB even if I
didn't know he wasn't.

It just seems as though a lot of people here--not
just you by any means--are surprisingly vulnerable
to having their legs pulled by this sort of thing,
including those who've been here much longer than
you. I was really rolling my eyes at the general
tendency rather than at you personally.

He's had several different shticks; this is his latest.
He does tend to beat them to death. For awhile he was
posting stuff taken from Quaker meetings as if it was
TMO pronouncements.

He doesn't like the TMO attitude at all, no. He finds
it amusing to satirize it, and I guess he gets a kick
out of folks taking him seriously.

I find him generally rather strange, but if you go back
and look at his posts from a couple of years ago, you'll
see a different picture than the current one.
