I hereby pledge to not type the word EMPEROR again on Eumpire. Perhaps a certain someone may want to take note of the words above and purge them from his list.
I believe, Mr Branch, that it is me that you have characterised as "a person who I have shunned". If it is, I don't believe that you can produce any quote by me, from this or any other forum, in which I have "specifically" called you either an IDIOT or BRAINLESS. Now please be careful, though. That doesn't mean I would deny calling your ideas IDIOTIC from time to time, and telling you why. I don't see anything wrong with that. Doubtless even Einstein had the odd idiotic idea; I know I have. Criticism of ideas is how those ideas are challenged and refined or rejected; even the idiotic ones. I don't ever recall using the word BRAINLESS in connection with either you or your ideas, but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. I certainly do remember suggesting that Rocky was the more intelligent partner in the duo of Rocky and Bulwinkle, and when paired Bulwinkle should always let Rocky call the shots for that reason. (grin)

In short, Mr Branch, I believe you may have inferred that which I did NOT imply. In any event, surely you are prepared to admit that if both the pot and the kettle can give up shouting "You're BLACK" then things are bound to improve in this forum?

{Kiss, kiss}... can we make up now? (grin)

Cheers,
