I never said that I was smarter or more literate. I simply pointed out that his style doesn't bother me - Tim C. and Garth's do. It is nice to know that your strength is in putting people down rather than adding to the conversation. WWTB's famous verbal obstruction call post was a couple of weeks ago yet Garth never added his opinion. Even though he now says he disagrees with the Fed ruling; where was your post to say what you thought back then? It is so much easier to sit on the side and put others down when they make a stand. I tried to be diplomatic but I now see why some people find the bot of you to be arrogant. You put down others for picking on grammatical errors, then do it yourselves. I'll borrow a line you seem fond of. "~sigh ~"

I think you misread Garth's post. Here's what he said, speaking of himself in the third person: "He has stayed out of this mess not because he diagrees with Mr. Hopkins or the rule, but because he recognizes the futility in affecting the opinion of any of the parties involved."
More importantly, it would be helpful if you'll quote a line or two of the person to whom you are replying. That way, we can figure out who's about to get trounced.
As it were.
