I had a great laugh from that. The self righteous, elitist, superior, attitude is priceless, but then to add that..... you are a prince.

Basically, you talk about how juvenile, immature, uneducated, uncooth everyone is over there..... but then you top it off with.... "once successful, I'll be there and enjoy the success..... but I'm too good to go over, set an example, work and try to make it something..." Bravo..... it cements my view that your condescension and egotism are your biggest and greatest assets... because just when I think you can't top yourself, you prove me wrong....

Bravo.

Correct me if I am wrong RB, please enlighten me... even though you pride yourself on your words and how well you convey what you want.....

I didn't read his post that way at all. And, in fact, he's saying nothing different than most of us ladies whom you've been so conciliatory to. Tell me this, what are you "directing" by doing whatever it is you're doing over there? How are you making it better? And what interest is someone supposed to have in forcing an internet forum into being "something else" just so they can carry on a discussion there when we have a place to do so right here? Like me, I think roachboy is saying I'll go where the real conversations are - and for now, that's here. If it's there later as well, then I will go there, too. But it is not incumbent on me or roachboy or anyone else to "make" CA into a place that fits our ideal.

I think you're grinding an axe in the living room when you ought to be grinding it in the barn (ie, the politics forum).
