Why would you lie to yourself? I hope it was a white lie.

Did I lie to myself? Me? Yo? That is impossible. Not even white. I wish I could. It seems to smooth over a lot of rough spots.

My mouth is maybe not bigger, but my sword - if the tounge be likened to such - stabs a lot deeper. If I go by your examples; they are completely understandable. And fair and square confrontational. I take the long way round and wear them down slowly. What we do have in common is that we do it for their own good, the collective good, with little interest in benefitting the self. I am sure you are better at fighting your corner to keep things fair for yourself than I am, but not at the expense of others.

Mabye.....you're a bit more naive? Trusting? Hopeful? My compliments, really. No, it's probably that you are in an entirely different social group most of the time. Straigtforward trolling. Maybe it is so that you can't get in the same kind of sticky trouble as I keep getting into when you comment basically in regard to the financial side or technical side of things. It is all much more obviously in front of everybody. It passes more easily too - more questions on that in another reply I am still working on. Something for your fresh head, no doubt, tomorrow some time. Oh, it's already tomorrow....
