This is a sign of someone who is not quite confident enough with their own knowledge to be able to say "You're right, I'm wrong".
Hopefully, one day he'll get there, because one cannot be a great leader without the ability to admit that you may be mistaken.

You have a lot to learn, my friend. Deflection of your own shortcomings with personal attacks on Dizzy's intelligence reveals your inner feelings of inferiority and uncertainty of your own belief.
From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.........we would all love to help you, but you're not allowing yourself to be helped.
So we all just have to sit back and watch the train as it speeds toward the abutment..........

Phelps, if I'm blind, you're hallucinating. Your remarks had nothing to do with my positions, but were directed toward me personally. I have offered several well reasoned possibilities as to how LS teaching and preaching has brought about this so-called "magic hair" phenomenon. Jfrog and Prax both have handled my presentations thoughtfully and reasonably. You have not even addressed them, but have taken "swipes" at me personaly. No, I did not simply choose to take them personally, you made them personal when you named me. Now listen, I don't have a problem if you want to get personal, or enter into a verbal contest. I promise I can hold my own, and there is a high probability you'll end up looking like a pretzel. I have iterated to others that is not my desire, yet I have responded sharply to several past snipes, and can again. But if you insist to believe your hallucinations, that your "swipes" were not directed toward me, but my positions, here is proof otherwise! I will bold every time you identify me personally in the quotes above....
You stated clearly your assessment was of "Bob Dylan".... You could have just as easily said "my assessment of BD's positions..." but that is not what you were doing. As you said "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speakeh." I spoke sharply with several who have taken "swipes" at me. As I said before, I tend to match the rhetoric directed toward me. If a person reasonably and respectfully handles what I offer, they'll get the same in return. Take swipes at me or slight me personally, you'll get your bell rung! Such was my response to Dizzy that you took issue with, as well as a couple of my responses to you. Have it your way Phelps. If you want to discuss the issue, let's do it as reasonably and respectufully as you want. If you want to discuss me, you're barking up the wrong tree....
