I'm happy to badger them over it.

I still think that people who want to have multiple personalities across different fora are a little chickenshit, if used duplicitously. No offense but that's just me.

I thought that you suggested different screen names at AK and here.

No I said I understood the motivation, see underlined above for further explanation. I thought I was being pretty clear Don.

Well, I'm quite capable of being dense.

Anyway, anybody that knew me over at AK likely wouldn't be surprised by the positions I take here.

Ah shit, no worries Don. Chickenshit is probably too strong of a term and it was definitely not aimed at Cleon or anyone else here. Bad choice of words, I hope nobody took it personally.


Oh well, clear as mud right?.... Where Chas? I need a bourbon...

I did not take it as at me Bob.I just interjectedmy take of myself I am a man of many faces.where straight bro',there is more squabble than intelect here you have to admit.not a safe haven for a thinker.I know the squabbles ease tension but there seems to be all that goes on.but every now and then the V8 purrrs on all 8.

Language is such a poor tool, and in a forum we have even less possibilities to express ourselves than in reality, here we miss body language, facial language, the way we stress words and so on. Smilies are actually not very helpful.

And one more thing. I like to qoute Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha:

"Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little bit different immediately they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish."

There are hardly any safe havens for thinkers.
