But that’s just difference of opinion. At least you can actually talk to the guy with a reasonable expectation that he’ll respond in good faith. Boy, when I blow a call, do I ever blow a call. I regret ever saying anything nice about you. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > Boy, when I blow a call, do I ever blow a call. Don’t feel too bad about it. My earlier impression of this moron was that he was certainly confused, but not a complete jerk. It’s only as his post count has risen that it’s become apparent what he really is. At this point, I have to wonder if even **Aeschines** is perhaps beginning to reexamine the wisdom of hitching his wagon to this particular, uh, “star.” ---

Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater. I was concerned with his behaviour – this could be physical or mental health – he got it, you missed it. What do you want? For me to send you roses? ~\<~\* Will a dandelion do? Call 'em like you see 'em. Give no quarter. Show no favorites. Admit when you’re wrong. Or don’t. ---

Oh, I got it all right. You called my mental health into question, in public, in at least two different threads. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Oh, I got it all right. You called my mental health into question, in public, in at least two different threads. **Czarcasm,** in my explanatory post I promised you the last word. My promise is good. I will not argue with how you see this, but I regret you see it this way. I’ve already apologised for inappropriate behaviour. Anything else I need to do? S?
