AMEN SISTER!!
I would like to be added to the list of people who would wholeheartedly agree to diagree on this point! Where do I sign up???
I fully believe I have gotten this type of treatment from you on many occasions. Do you not think that referring to someone as a child and repeatedly calling them "boy" is not demeaning and patronising?
You constantly like to remind people how intelligent you are. You are always using goofy latin terms that no one understands to make points (that are for the most part lost due to no one knowing what you are saying). You are constantly using obscure references that would require research to discover (if I cared enough to look).
Maybe if you would stop trying to rise above everyone, and just join the crowd you might have a better time on the board. Seeing, as you state, your intelligence is higher than most, maybe the reason people resort to name-calling with you is because that is all we are capable of doing in our meger exsistence?
There is one thing to try to expand someone's horizons and to belittle someone.
Also, maybe you should take less time to continually re-inforce your opinions (i.e., your Rhette Butler line), a simple IMHO works just fine and makes people feel a lot less stupid for disagreeing wiht you. I feel statements like these are added for the sole intent to re-inforce a superiority issue somewhere. I know that is why I add them to posts here and there. Statements like these are made for an intended impact, not just as part of normal speech. Sorry, but many of us are indeed fully put off by your constant use of them.
ROCK ON AGREE TO DISAGREE!!!!
