You're right of course. I mean left of course. I wasn't nearly as deliberately provocative in the old days. I was a genuinely nice guy, defending Raoul & Lindy from those who wanted to crucify them back on the MSNBC boards. Friendly as can be, a kind word for everyone...and then...then the influence of posting here too much started to become visible. Wham! Now when I post here I'm a deliberate and don't forget selective provocateur extraordinaire! Environment vs Heredity 101. Clearly environment plays a bigger role than we think.

And like Coulter always reminds me late in the night when we snuggle, It doesn't matter if they love you or hate you so long as they always read you.

Ten years!

Ann was right! See ER...follow my lead. Write interestingly, even about the most dry topics (quantum vortices!) and you will always be imminently readable.

Thanks Tones! Your ten year anniversary membership pin will arrive in the mail anyday now! (It's a gold vortex - naturally)
