    i suppose if you want to see it purely antagonistically then sure, but i figured this was just a place to talk about stuff so i shared something i thought would be relevant, ill respond to clearstreams response in full regardless of whether he reads it or not.

    be as it may i respect the intelligence of anonymous people on the internet to give them as much respect as they give me, ovinomancer has responded to me each time with a pretty wordy retort and thus he gets one in kind. i assume hes trying to understand me, but i assume the best usually until...
