I thought of you as a sage. But as I explained in our private note (that you are so itching at the gills to share with the masses) I still think you're a really smart guy. But sages are those older types filled with wisdom. You seem to still enjoy a good brawl.

And don't misrepresent what I said. The "your words" was not "when you agree with me" and "when you don't." My disappointment with you was not because you disagreed. I do believe you are smart enough to realize that. But as irrational as you've been lately, I'll cut you some slack.

Mrs. Richardson taught our First Grade class about quotation marks. Your words that I quoted were in quotation marks. This fact seems to have not escaped you; yet you still say that I misrepresented your words.

And, I won't embarass you further by posting the PMs. You've done enough for yourself. Why don't you call it an evening?

I only took it as him saying that you called him both a sage and a jerk. It didn't seem to be misrepresented to me, at least, not from my point of view.

Embarrass me? You've already broke rules and shared private messages. I have nothing to hide. You are on a rampage. Feel free to do it. The majority of my comments to you were "hahahahahahahahaha."

What's the point? What do you want to prove tonight, Pel?

You correctly used the quotation marks with some rather implied commentary in-between. A passerby may get the wrong idea. So, let's just put it out there how it was rightly said, and not on how you chose to reinterpret what I said.

Glad you figure it out. I want to make sure everyone does.

My words were actually to the degree of:

I'm disappointed in you. Considered you the sage of AFF... something about now seeing him as a jerk. If the forum really cares

[Jeffrey]

Actually... the exact quote of mine:

I had an impression of you initially on AFF as the articulate sage. Amazing what 48 hours can do.

Feeling the love on the "Cross of Christ" thread hahaha.

Well, for me, he'd still be very much the "sage". I've learned more from Pel than all my college combined and many of the years beyond. He's the reason I initially stayed on AFF.

I'm not sure what happened but I just know that I got sick of Mike doing his, "You poor people could never understand this like I do" schtick so that's my current warpath! I don't like having my words twisted beyond recognition.

But don't bash Pel too hard, I'm the president of his fan club!

I like him too... most of the time. On the AZ Bill posting that got locked up now, things took a turn. Knowledgeable and smart... not that it matters to him, but not sage-like. Not about "fan clubs" for me... and I don't like to think I'm "bashing him" ... but I won't take all night explaining or reasoning that out either.

And just when was that?

Reality appears to be something ephemeral to you. You can't quite grasp or get a hold on it.

Too many repeated PMs with the frenetic nervous laughter.

You said what I have already characterized you as saying, and then you repeated it. The context of the "sage" remark was concerning my posts in this thread, a thread that you now malign. Yet I have been as frank and "fun" here as I was on that thread about AZ's SB1070.

The context of the "jerk" comment was your realization in that thread that I probably don't agree with you about everything and that I have little patience for those who seem to need to post ... frenetically.

It suddenly occurs to me that I also appear to have dropped in your esteem when you discovered that I was not as wealthy financially as you had for some reason imagined.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" ?
