If you are going to quote me, please respond to my quote, and in the context with which it was written.

Sometimes I wonder if you read what you write. You said this: "That's a common retort any time PSA or JSA are questioned - the sort of response that allows them to remain infallible to many on this board."

Now you say the above?? OK, you didn't claim anyone said they were infallible, you just said they remain infallible to many. Isn't this splitting hairs? If you don't claim anyone says they are infallible, can you please explain who these "many on this board" are???

And sometimes I wonder if you understand English. You got one thing correct - I did not state that anyone here has claimed that a TPA is infallible. 'Claiming' is active, while "they remain infallible" is passive. If you can't understand what I wrote, then scratch your head and move on. And if you want to talk about splitting hairs, concentrating on the word "infallible" as the most important part of a discussion is about as hair-spitting as you can get.

I probably should have used something less caustic than "infallible", but based on the responses by yourself, Steve, and Eskimo, I'm certain that each of you would have found another word to key on in order to divert the discussion away from the ridiculous "band wagon" comment that I was responding to.

I don't really think "less caustic" is a method you'd choose very often. The strongest word you chose to use was "infallible." Since you seem to pride yourself as well-educated, I'm going to go ahead and assume that's the word you wanted to use. But I'm going to go away now, scratching my head and once again thinking you're an ass.

Ken, I've never done anything to warrant your initial attack on me in this thread, or to have you call me an "ass". In fact, I've bent over backward for over two years now, attempting to get along with you, despite regular unprovoked attacks. That's done now.

Can you please reference the "regular, unprovoked attacks?" Because I've bent over backward trying to ignore your holier-than-thou attitude while trying to compliment your collection.

Well, I think it should be obvious to most now that you are the smartest person in the room. I no longer wonder why you "or many of this board" overthink things. Maybe we should all just sit back and let you get to 10k posts the old fashion way, by thinking everyone wants to read your posts.
