Since i don't megalomania would be an impossible ambition. My reasons are not to prove my self right or even validate my perspective. Not every tool is sharp or needs to be. My opening comment on this thread was more of a parody than anything else. None the less people like Stuart and apparently you have chosen to see this as a declaration of my inferiority, which in any comparison is absolutely bound to be true based on perspective, but instead of patting me on the head and seeing my trolling as trolling i get character assassinations comparing me to a collective of monkeys. My concern there is not the target but the action. I think at the end of the day everyone can agree that this whole thread from before my entry up till now has been nothing more than name calling.
At which point i come to my real intention for what i have said and done here. Truth does not take sides, and i would hope that in the future people would spend a little more time discussing something of relevance instead of letting a thread get trolled like i did to this one. I value what i learn here in this forum. So if you wish to discuss something great, but evaluate the thoughts for their potential merit and not as a candidate for amusement. I set myself up as a target to draw out the flies. I'm somewhat disappointed that they swarmed. I had higher expectations. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
