I'd say you've become infected by the "mean and unfriendly" bug yourself.

Perhaps. And yet the fact of more than 25 prior posts and claiming this is his first is still a bald-faced lie.

For some odd reason, someone sticking a gun into my ribs and demanding that I. 'Trust them.', doesn't engender trust. If that's a bit meaner, so be it.

Dramatize much? Or did he actually crawl out your monitor and draw down?

May I recommend the book “Flatland” to you? [1][2]

[1]It is available online in epub, pdf, and other formats.

[2]This is an insult you will probably not understand w/o having it ‘splained to you.

I will apologize to you. My intend was not to lie. This was my first Thread to start. But yes, technincally you are correct. I am not afraid of being corrected. I stand corrected.

Here’s link to a FR page called “Articles Posted by dt57” (click on “Articles” tab on his posting history page)...anyone can see that there’s only one “Article” posted.

So I don’t think dt57 guilty of a “bald-faced lie” as you said. Post can mean more than just making a comment on an existing “Article”.

So, welcome to Free Republic dt57. I think your ideas are more interesting than some of the fluff that gets posted in the Chat section. I hope you stick around.

He's a n00b, and he misspoke. Some of us have assumed that he meant that this was his first thread, or his first vanity, confusing those things with plain old posts.

I would not judge that to be a lie.

The gentleman also has a good sense of humor, and he's a good sport. He asks questions and stays with the thread regardless the flak he's taking.

I wouldn't zot him if I could.

Or, at the very least, I certainly don't.
