You insult me and then say you mean me no disrespect. Sounds like you're talking out of both sides of your mouth in that post. Perhaps you are disgruntled that I haven't taken your bait and debated you with on certain topics, especially those on Journeys. I've noticed, however, that no one has really done that with you either. Maybe that's because you preclude any reasonable debate with your absolute certainty about most things. Or maybe it's your hubristic references to your genius IQ in the top 1% of your nation. Or maybe it's that everyone that frequents these boards is as "intellectually sensitive" as you disparagingly claim I am.

You say you do not purport to represent me, yet that is exactly what you did in the statement that I pointed out to you in your post, which was way over the top. Instead of simply acknowledging that error, you become defensive by saying you were only joking, insult me in the process and claim you are being civil and respectful. Maybe it's your intellectual snobbery that is to blame?

Btw, my objections to your post concerning Peter have nothing to do with what I do or don't think about him. Your attempt to make that an issue is simply a red herring, an attempt to distract from the main point of my post to you, which is that you have no right to claim that what you think about Peter is what everyone thinks about him.
