You assume that i care what people think of me. Since i don't 
megalomania would be an impossible ambition. My reasons are not to prove 
my self right or even validate my perspective. Not every tool is sharp 
or needs to be. My opening comment on this thread was more of a parody 
than anything else. None the less people like Stuart and apparently you 
have chosen to see this as a declaration of my inferiority, which in any 
comparison is absolutely bound to be true based on perspective, but 
instead of patting me on the head and seeing my trolling as trolling i 
get character assassinations comparing me to a collective of monkeys. My 
concern there is not the target but the action. I think at the end of 
the day everyone can agree that this whole thread from before my entry 
up till now has been nothing more than name calling.

At which point i come to my real intention for what i have said and done 
here. Truth does not take sides, and i would hope that in the future 
people would spend a little more time discussing something of relevance 
instead of letting a thread get trolled like i did to this one. I value 
what i learn here in this forum. So if you wish to discuss something 
great, but evaluate the thoughts for their potential merit and not as a 
candidate for amusement. I set myself up as a target to draw out the 
flies. I'm somewhat disappointed that they swarmed. I had higher 
expectations.
