I have been attacked, belittled and denigrated by a specific poster which calls for a like response. In politics when attacked it is fallacy to let it lie. It must be responded to else it grows and festers like an unattended wound. I'm sorry you think I appear to think myself superior but nothing is further from the truth. If you take the time and unbiased perspective to read my posts I am sure you will see that they are each conditioned and acknowledged by the limits of my own knowledge and wisdom. I think most of my posts prove to be based in reality and logic and not given to flights of ego or fantasy. But a number of people here on ME seem to be present only to gratify their own egos and I rebel against that. I am here to explore ideas and when I run across someone who presents as you have accused me then, yes, I rise up and rebel and attempt to expose that individual as the charlatan and a fraud I believe them to be. Most times my assessment is supported by others. However, there seems to be more of the latter than of rational discourse which, if continued, will lead to my leaving the group once more. In fact, I will even leave it to a vote. Those who wish me gone, let them speak and it will be so.
