Of course, Xeno wasn't referring to my way of seeing myself, he was referring to his own way of seeing Barry. Barry isn't aware of this because he didn't read my post. And he's not aware that I just told Xeno he *didn't* have to justify his opinion. > > I probably expend a huge amount of energy compared to him. > > How much do you expend?

Nope, here we were talking about facts-on-the-record, not opinion, sorry. <snip> > From my point of view, what is pushing their buttons > the most in this latest exchange is the notion *that* > none of them are worth my attention, and that I'm not > really giving them much of it.

Says Barry, who has just spent several longish paragraphs paying attention to us, and will go on in his next post to pay us even *more* attention, over 700 words' worth in all. And that's not counting the attention he paid us yesterday.
