> [@What Exit?](#): > > Sorry I must remember to preview first, you proved me wrong by the time I hit Post. :mad: 😃 > > Jim This cracks me up. People are WAY more invested in proving me “wrong” than I am in proving myself “right.” I read, I parsed, I read others’ opinions, I re-read, I re-parsed, and I formed my own opinions. My opinion may be based on a more cynical view than yours. Whatever. You don’t agree with me, fine. But who’s all undie-bunched about it? “Admitting I’m wrong” when my opinion remains unchanged would just be dishonest. _Pas. Moi._ Fine, only Maureen knows for sure, and each of us has to decide whether we believe her “testimony” or not. I may be more jaded, or more cynical, than you. I may even be wrong. But until we get Maureen on a lie detector test, I’m gonna form my own opinion. And gang bullying ain’t gonna have a whole lot of affect on that opinion. Fact is, if she hadn’t been so cryptic in the first place, there’d be less margin for error here. As it stands, we’re all within the margin she provided. I say we keep this going until the EC-related posts seem like the tangent. ---

> [@El Cid Viscoso](#): > > Ha! The beauty part is how I would’ve missed this if you hadn’t pointed it out. Game, set & snatch, Hama. So which part is incorrect? In exy not unhinged and looking for a fight? Well, either that or he just pretends that he’s unhinged so that he can start fights, but I think that’d be bannable so I just assume that he’s off his rocker. The second part, is quite true. You’ll notice there was a back and forth, from both of them despite exy’s lie in this thread designed to start a fight, right up to the point where I posted. After that, **Operation Ripper** dropped it. ---

Now who’s got the martyr complex? Are we all arguing over **Evil Captor’s** contributions and/or hijacks anymore? Very odd doings here. ---

Stick by your guns; just do not let it get you too upset. **El Cid Viscoso** : I don’t know you and you apparently dislike FinnAgain but from what I saw FinnAgain did stop a useless pissing match earlier on in this thread. So I think you are letting past experiences color your opinion on this. Jim ---
