And let me point out that the purpose of that post was really these words:Hi XXXXX, I worked with "other classes of people" as I toiled as a waitress and grill cook from the time I was 16. The people I met just made me convinced I wanted to go to college so that I never had to associate with their like again. They were empty, aimless and in the main highly unspiritual, unless you consider the worship of alcohol, sex and drugs a religion. I can't remember having an intellectually stimulating conversation with anyone. Of course I met idiots in college too, but a better class of idiot. And by the time I got to Berkeley I'd have to say almost all the idiots were weeded out, and that is the way I like it. Nothing wrong with being an intellectual elitist, IMO, if your tastes don't run to the plebian. My husband feels the same way about his time in the Navy. He met a guy with green teeth, and some other interesting and unsavory folks he wouldn't like to rub elbows with again The post that contains that text was from Granny to Rambi, you were mentioned incidentally in it. Are you ready to still stand by those words you wrote? Does you still think you are so superior to the rest of the world? Your garbage man may not have 7 years education past high school, but my bet is his character and ethics are superior. Incidentally, I was not "stalking", as you are so fond of calling it, you when I found that post. Neither your alias nor your real presumed real name were among the search terms. I was seeking some other information. Had I posted only that text, I had visions of being called a liar and making the text out of whole cloth. To prove it's authenticity, I posted the link. No one could question that. Be that as it may, I will not post any text or any links containing your presumed real name in the future. There are probably other posts out there containin your presumed real name. If, before opening fire, you had taken the trouble to read a few of my posts on this thread today, you might have learned that a similar thing happened to me a few years back. When I asked the persons involved to stop using my real name, they stepped it up. I then complained to Admin- -and was told to take a long walk off a short pier and that once a piece of information was put in a post on the site, it was on the site and available forever after. BTW, I remember some years back you made a great issue in Sharks of someone referring to Rambi as XXXXX and yet there you are doing it. Is this pot, kettle, black? AND, as has been asked by several other posters, how does anyone here know that is your real name even if you say it is?
