I have heard nothing more bizarre than your story about how/why you joined FR. I haven’t heard anything more ridiculous, either. I’m fascinated any brain could have not only invented it, but evidently imagined someone else might perchance believe it...though in all honestly I don’t think anyone did.
I didn’t call you a jerk, btw. Go back & reread what I posted. You will find that it wasn’t name-calling at all.
“Look like a jerk” - semantics!
