I was afraid of that. (but at least you were funny :>
I wasn't referring to the religious affiliation thing -- just the collected extremism of your posts, plus your piety (not because of WHAT was said in your book intro) and specifically, that IMHO you're efforts at creating an image are clear. It takes one to know one, so I hoped I could point it out without upsetting you and as a favor to keep you from further embarassment. I was trying to tell you your fly is down. That's all. Now it seems like it was taken as a flame, so I apologize. Its too bad I wasn't more clear in my post -- I thought it was helpful. I hope you know I wouldn't have taken the time, unless I thought it would help you. I am sorry for any damage it has done. I know I do try to seem so damn smart. So I'm okay you call me on it -- I don't think that was what I was trying to do. But, I suppose, if I always premiditated the smart thing, it would be easy to pinpoint and just stop. I wasn't trying to one-up you. In fact, I was saying, come on down here to the kid's table to eat -- its clear you don't make a very good adult (I hope that feels like a compliment, not a flame). Again, I am a poser, too, just inching my ways towards original face. (but from my view, with less crow to eat than you, when all's said and done :) What brief suggestions do you have for me letting go of my intellect least painfully? I suspect that nobody here but us... This group is not easily impressed. They weren't impressed when I arrived either. Would YOU be impressed by your posts? Abe Lincoln remarked, "I wouldn't marry any woman who would have me." Your post below is part of the oscillation I was referring to. I meant to dampen it, but instead stoked the flames... And c'mon, what do you have against Scientology? I mean, John Travolta buys it (pun intended) -- and in my book, anything Vinnie Barbarino does, is just cool by me.
