It isn’t about me.

Oh, I'm so glad to hear you think you can lay this off against somebody else's responsibility. [NOT.]

But if this is the case, why have I spent the past 30 minutes or so -- at your personal invitation -- reading and thinking about your last?

In merry moments, I suppose you are the sort of person who can best be understood as a "tempter in training" AWOL from Screwtape's famous (and permanently endowed) Tempter's College....

Fortunately, I haven't been very "merry" in recent times...so don't feel particularly pressed to deal with this question.

I want to be offended, but considering who is saying this, I cannot.

Do I have to claim the idea? Can I admit that the idea, the principle is bigger than me? That I have a hold of something that I realize is more important than I am?

and I almost posted how disappointed I have been at the really important ideas that I have posted that you have glossed over in favor of lessor ones, but I didn't want to kick you like you are doing to me here. . ... ....... ...

Oh, gee. That is too bad. I wish I had that luxury. But my feelings aren't relevant, and i know that. If we are ever to get out of this sandbox then i can't base what i communicate upon how i feel. Feelings don't matter in this case, thoughts do. But only for those who think. Maybe one day you can join us.
