should you called anything else when you hide behind a new identity while making an attack on another member of this board either.
show your face and you'll get the cred. otherwise, as far as i am concerned, you is a shade, which some might say is another word for a coward.
JB, if you think that your view of me is any concern, then you're really over-estimating your worth. I mocked Ripsnort, he took it like a good sport, joked back, and left it on good terms. Frankly, his method of dealing with it made the whole affair worthwhile.
The fact that you're acting like a hall monitor and chastising me on behalf of him and the rest of the members here--most of whom could care less about who I may or may not be--speaks more of your inadequacies than anything else. Impotent and overlooked in real life, you grasp at authority in this tiny corner of the electronic universe.
And Rip, I'm glad that you're proud of your achievements. You have every reason to be. Your comfort with who you are and what you've achieved is more important than any object you've acquired. People that start off with nothing and pull themselves into middle class status should be an inspiration to millions of Americans, so please don't take my mockery as negative. At worst, a poorly-executed roast.
