As someone in a parallel thread pointed out, of troy, "Not everyone is worth listening to."

I won't take that as your epitaph, the Contrarian.

The jury is still out. :)

Not as far as you're concerned, my boy. You appear to be guilty as charged.

Of course that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Oh, Contrarian, I think Plutarch is envious of your nom-de-cyber.
Over in a thread in Miscellany, he invited others to judge him (and by extension his posts) but when we do pass judgment, he claims we have no jurisdiction--or that jury is still out. --to him, the jury is always still out.

What a quandary!

In the past when such discrepancies arose, and have been pointed out, Plutarch has quietly, edited away the evidence. so to be sure LOOK quick before it goes the way of so many things.. and compare-- you’ll see I did edit and make bold a single sentence, but I didn’t change a single word of his!

Because I have you around to honor me for it, snoot.

Why else?

There is nothing like a sanctimonious "haranguer" to pump up the click count on one of my homilies. :)

P.S. Who can doubt that I have single-handedly brought you out of your shell, snoot.

Whether that is a good thing for the Board or not, I will leave to others to judge. But I'm kind of fond of you myself. Keep up the good work.

Ah, Of Troy. I think of you, fondly, as my aide-de-camp.

When all others have retreated in despair, you are there.

Always there, as dutiful as a hawk, to keep me on my mark.

Not to mention, to pump up my click count. :)

What was an Abbott without a Costello? A Laurel without a Hardy?

P.S. Perhaps you will consider posting on The Limerick News, Of Troy?

I could use the exposure.

Thanks for ruining a thread I was really interested in. Whatever the background and provocation or lack thereof, if you don't like the content of a post or you don't approve of the poster how about trying this ; GROW UP, ignore the post you don't like and enter your own post ON TOPIC!
I have tried not to get involved but this is one too many good threads ruined.
And please DON'T answer this with a justification unless you want to do it in a PM.

And thus Pilate stalks away, washing his hands of the whole affair.
