@edgarblythe,
You are one of my favorite people too, though we have disagreed slightly on things for years. I remember thinking, and also saying, hey, just check what EB says. Not anymore, but I don't dislike you.
You have sounded highly bitter to me lately. I get bitter, but I took it that the roast has been burning from you. You insulted a bunch of us at once on what turned out to be a joke thread that we didn't get, as all stupid.
We all have fault lines, and certainly I do. La stupida.
I have still posted you up sometimes, but I figure you are inured re thumbs.
Anyway, I hope we can still talk.
