Sorry, I didn't see it. I didn't say the word "admire." I said I like your posts. I rarely agree, but I think you are a very nice person.
"Howlin, I didn't mean to make you mad. If so, I am sorry. You are very entertaining, one of the reasons I come to FR. I have bets with friends across the country--some of whom agree with a lot you say--about when you will say anything bad about a Republican or, indeed, if a Republican can do anything with which you disagree. You are our benchmark, and we love you for it. So please don't take offense."
