Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 3963863, member: 181"] I had some trouble reading it. I'll take the "24.7k Likes" that appears beneath his name as a 24/7 sign. Pursuing new strategy to bury this site, this time from the inside. Dislike button 2.0? Or was that before your time? My record reveals me repeatedly as a self-professed NON-Chater, so I'm no affiliate of "black helicopter conspiracy types." That said, the mere coinage and now multiple use of the phrase "black helicopter conspiracy types" is a dismaying absurdity, and I think it hurts your cause to traffic in such hyperbole. You may or may not have access & knowledge as you imply or claim. I don't give it huge stock either way. But it's pretty easy to recognize that you are not the only one with sources and/or deserving of kudos, and that means that you don't warrant praise to the extent that your self-affirming posts maintain. Whether your mis-proportioned self-regard is farcical or just a light ding on your persona that's borne of defensive insecurity isn't something I can reliably ascertain. Again, this doesn't trouble me as it does some others. If it's no more than a pecadillo, it needn't be dealt with as more than something worthy of good-natured teasing. Hard to imagine that you - at your best - wouldn't recognize that some skepticism or ribbing "goes with the territory" you stake. Who ever said that Chiefin' would or should be easy? This is a high major program with high aspirations, no? [/QUOTE]
