How sad that he has to pretend he "intended" to have me respond to that post. Anything to avoid confronting his hypocrisy, I guess. (Oh-oh, yes, he's the Great Pretender, Adrift in a world of his own. His need is such, he pretends too much...) This is the fellow who insists over and over that he DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT what anybody thinks of him. (He seems to be what he's not, you see...) Or hopes real hard that he does. > THE CORRECTOR is out for the week. Uh, Bar, sweetie, it's Friday.
