If you want to deliver on the second point in bold, then try to refrain from making statements like the first one in bold.

My apologies, I did not intend it that way. It's an admission and diagnosis of myself. It is not meant to show that I am "top dog". I have met folks who are more brilliant than I, and despite my aura I have presented myself here, I actually consider myself not that great of a mind.

If you don't want to believe me, that's ok. It's not like I can telepathically transport my thoughts.

The only actually intelligent and incisive thing you have said in the entire thread.

I cringe reading the way you torture the english language ... what did it ever do to you???

This response is meant to be purely descriptive. Any other effects are not intended

The written word was never my strength. Hence, what I think never gets across correctly. The analogy is trying to stuff a pinata with too much stuff.

No, the analogy is someone mangling english and then insulting others for not understanding him.

It's pretty simple - The words you use don't mean what you think they do.

For what it's worth, I agree that cutting JC was the right thing to do. The Shanny's were convinced he couldn't do what they wanted. However, in saying that, they should have been equally convinced that McNabb, Beck & Grossman couldn't do it either.
