the dude--you can barely stand to visit because I've been posting? Why is that? I am actually a long way from self-righteous and a long way from perfect--I am a man of conviction and opinions, and I thrive on sharing them, on reading the opinions of others, and in the end, learning and growing from the discourse--that's what my participation here is about. I'm at a loss to understand why you're getting personal--it's something I strive to avoid here, honestly. Do we agree on most issues--frankly we don't--and that's fine. When you step up to bat with your opinion on something--I'm going to be there to debate it--that's what this is about--and I expect nothing less of you--challenge me, correct me--do whatever you'd like. If however, you just don't want to be disagreed with--I can't help you on that one--when I don't want to be challenged, I find the mirror makes an excellent audience. If a dissenting opinion "derails" discussion--I'm guessing it wouldn't be much of a discussion at all.

With all that being said--it seems you're calling me out on being self-righteous...fine...if you can find an instance where I was self-righteous, please feel free to share it--it's welcome in the Forum, or your welcome to share it privately so as not to derail any other conversation. I have a fair bit of info and knowledge to share here--some of it is "untainted" by my politics--I invite you to re-read some of my posts--you may find some interesting bits in there between my "tirades".

As for you being a snob, it's cool you admit it. I'll leave it at that.
