I don’t know Ace, many of his posts were unclear insofar as how far he took it when he said he was “late” and that time meant nothing to him, etc.

There were several that seemed, until he cleared most of them up, to be contradictory to each other. And others that were vague examples that didn’t seem to answer our questions.

There were quite a few of us trying to clarify what he meant by many of his statements by asking him questions and giving him examples.

I think that, for the most part, Eris understood that we were looking for clarification of his previous posts, and NOT trying to tell him that his “way” was wrong.

But maybe Bippy would be better off slogging through the 5 pages of posts her(his?)self.
