RESPONSE: Then, you're just going to leave a guy twisting in the proverbial wind, Tom? How about some intervention. I think it mean to just mock someone without providing some remedy that the speechifier could apply to cure his malady. If I incur any more wounds from persons such as yourself (who seem to be unwilling to benefit from my superior vantage point on the universe), I am just going to take my ball and go home. Never to be heard from again. Do you really want to be responsible for an act of this magnitude? I am, after all, a missionary at heart, and if the natives will not bow down and obey me (find perfect agreement with everything I say and HOW I SAY IT) then I shall abandon them in their benightedness. Please reconsider, Thomas. "Histrionic", any idea how much that hurts? No, I suppose you don't. >
