Let me get this straight -- if you have an opinion on a subject, and you express it with certainty, you are then labeled as having the "vision of the anointed" and subject to mockery?
This type of labeling sounds a lot like what goes on in junior high and appears to have the same intellectual underpinnings. If you disagree with what somebody says, say it and explain why. Don't just dismiss them by slapping a pejorative label on them and their opinion. Jonathan A.

HAHAHA you're not only the president, you're also a client! but seriously tony, you've nicely demonstrated here how much you've owned the vision of the anointed -- and how much it's owned you. and how it's never too late to realize it. that's good in itself. see?
