then you'll see that there are relatively few 'other' folks reading these threads.
The point is not that there are relatively few, nor that there are relatively many, "other folks" reading these threads. The point is that there are any at all.

Yes, well, i can't help it that i talk to you as often as i do--it is certainly no fault of mine that you will persist in peddling your imaginary friend bullshit.
Quote:If it makes you feel important to imagine that you have a large following online, then by all means, don't let the facts disabuse you of the notion.
In the first place, you have presented no facts, you have simply indulged speculation; you are offering surmise, not fact.
In the second place, i would wish to counter your bullshit even if it were no more than one other silent reader here, because i would want that silent reader to have the opportunity to see the arguments which are advanced against your poofism. You say that we are
mostly just talking to each other. Be that as it may, that certainly constitutes an admission that there are others who are reading who are silent. In that circumstance, if i feel that if i am to spend any time here which does not involve the silliness with which i entertain myself (which includes reading the hilarious sorts of fantasy allegations you and your ilk so frequently present), and does not involve directly answering questions which are posted for which i have a good answer (mostly, but not limited to, history and language)--then i consider it time well spent to offer to the silent reader the rebuttal to your foolishness.
I have no large following online, nor do i imagine that i do. It were no egotistical gratification to imagine that there were such a following, since none of the "followers" would know me if they encountered me on the street. I am about as anonymous as one can be, barring only those members from this site, from Abuzz and a couple of other sites whom i have met in person. So you can make all the snide remarks suggesting illusions of grandeur on my part that you wish, they only tell us the extent to which you are a typical sneering, hateful christian.
The point is that if anyone else at all is reading here, i want them to read countervailing statements to the tripe you offer. And you don't fool me at all in the regard that this is precisely what you are attempting yourself. After all, aren't all you shepherds more joyful at the finding of a single lost lamb, than the one hundred who are already known to be entering into heaven?
Hypocrite.
