No one wants me to come to battle.

Besides, TB doesn't need me to back him up. When I start making posts, they soon hang unanswered or end up with n/t escape routes. Besides I have better time mangement and effort/benefit understanding and know when a post might do some good or whether I am just wasting a lot of time.

You're big on perceiving arrogance from other posters, particularly TB. Yet, when one reads how a number of posters perceive your posts - this same arrogance has been noted.

It's called the mirror principle. We are emotional about others characteristics that we ourselves possess in an imbalanced state.

So if we jump up and down and shout when we see someone litter - you can bet we litter often and don't yet even recognize it. Or we do recognize it and point others actions out to try and deflect from our own guilt.

When Bowser or azstrummer talk about bullies for example, one can't help but smile. When you talk about arrogance and being a critic/sniper who shoots the wounded - one can't help but smile as well.

I just try to point out what most here would see as obvious - the two of you going at it, like a ping pong game where no gain is made only the constant refusal to permit another to gain.

I may be wrong. I may be right. Usually both at the same time.

Perspective is a funny thing - infinitely flexible.
