Wow, I actually quite surprised at your change. I had written you off as incapable of abandoning your personal dislike of me and acting rationally. I am glad to be wrong about that, and I appreciate the effort involved in rethinking your position. It gives me hope that if you can correct your behavior, then perhaps there is even hope for Shrek, liv4ever, percat, and others.

In any case, I'm glad that you understand that I wasn't trying to pull one over you, and I hope we can now begin more cordial and sincere discussions of controversial issues. I cannot promise that I won't piss you off again, but I can promise you that everything I say on this site is the honest truth as best as I know it.

I know. Before I thought that my personal dislike of you was in fact acting rationally, in the extreme. But I've come to realize that either because of the way others have treated you, and maybe the way they treat you now, when you come to this forum, it's a place for you to liberate your inner asshole, and enjoy a certain degree of intellectual dishonesty that is your true nature.

OF course the other possibility is that you are just a make believe character who writes on this forum. Because I find many of your traits (that I won't list here) to be extremely inconsistent with the personality traits of a good programmer.

Then again, what do I know, I'm just an idiot who has lied to you about having a masters degree in Math, and who couldn't hold a candle to you in any domain.

Please picture me walking away from you backwards, bowing every few steps I take.

Well, that didn't last long. I guess I was wrong about being wrong about Marcus being beyond hope or redemption. That will teach me to have any hope in the human species.
