But someone- let's be honest now, you mean YOU, walks into the room we are in and lights a "Roman candle". Do you not see how insulting this is too Steven, and the rest of us? And what an EGO for YOU to claim you can light a candle for us? See, number one we'd have to be idiots wouldn't we? After all here we would be sitting in the dark and NOT KNOWING it. Until you lit your candle, of course, and TOLD us about it. Because I don't believe any of us ever discussed being in the dark. So I don't think any of the regulars here think we WERE/ARE in the dark before FS. But you make the judgment that you have walked into a "dark room". Further you have the ego to think you have lit it up. For me, and I can't speak for anyone else, your posts are almost unreadable. Half the time I really can't tell what you are trying to say. Some of the mushy phrases you use could mean anything. Language is imprecise, but you've really honed that imprecision to almost complete incomprehensibiltiy. I'm not angry with you. I'm not afraid of you. I'm not even afraid of your ideas- whatever they might be, although I might not agree with them if I knew exactly what they were. It's a cool trick attacking people who don't agree with you with that fear stuff, and the hate stuff. Goodness, you even tried it on Rambi. This is a well lighted room, with many tables, and many interesting people in it. There is light coming from everywhere. In fact I would guess that we ALL think we are bringing our OWN light, to a place that was already well lit to begin with. My goodness FS, it's BLINDING in here. Perhaps you are afraid to see our light? Perhaps some fear keeps you seeing darkness in this well lighted place? heeheehee That works well. I will assimilate it.
