Actually I put on the record rebuttals of all kinds of misrepresentations, as you know, not just of things I've said or done. And considering your perceived need to put on the record a daily quota of elaborate and often malicious putdowns of other people, I should think you'd find the concept rather easy to understand. The only difference is that you put misrepresentations on the record, and I put rebuttals of misrepresentations (often yours) on the record. > I don't think there is anyone else on this > forum who feels a similar need. That's up to them, isn't it? You take great pride in considering yourself an "outlaw" who doesn't follow the crowd, and here you are trying to put me down for doing the same. In other words, > the rest are sane, and have a more balanced > view of their own importance in the overall > scheme of things Most of them don't feel the need to engage in constant gratuitous putdowns of others, either.

And you seem to feel this need to go on the record and viciously "rebut" or "correct" anyone who doesn't, in your mind at least, see life quite the same way you do. > <insert Dr. Phil voice here> > How's that workin' out for ya? How's it working out for *ya*? What you're really objecting to here is that a lot of my rebuttals and corrections are of things *you've* felt the need to put on the record. You want to have a free hand with your putdowns; you don't want to be accountable for them. And I stand in the way.
