That was at a time when the religion topics were pretty popular and somewhat volatile. I wonder if that had something to do with his disappearance. |

Adam is his first name, and you don't get his very, very, dry wit. (You're intelligent enough to, but in writing, it doesn't come across).
Adam is probably not scared but has started a new practice in a new state. He has studied many issues well, is conversant in Arabic and Russian and is a Democrat. I like Adam very much.

He said he's terrified of me. His words. He's also blocked my mail on CB, and, as you know, I'm not a stalker or anything. He did it after what I thought was a good dialogue. I confess that I have not read too many of his posts all that closely. I'm surprised at some of the things you say including that Adam is his first name because he seems very pious to me.

And btw, for the short time that Adam was here, I had no problem with him. His general conference rant/blog was somewhat humerous. All right, now I'm curious. What could you have possibly done to "terrify" Adam? Was it your love of classical music and the arts, because if so, then frankly he was justified. |

I imagine, knowing him, that his comment was completely sarcastic. Later, he may have blocked feeling ashamed for having been so sarcastic. He is strong-willed, but so are most of us from time to time.
Seattle even called me cruel. Sometimes in my house, that's the mildest epithet thrown my way. Growing up with diversity, being knocked around, called on the carpet is the least of my worries. It's when I am complimented that I begin to worry.

I'd like to see Sleeping in EQ post more. I also enjoyed Iluvatar's presence and wish he hadn't left. I think we'll add a quality poster every now and again but I certainly don't wish for any kind of an onslaught of posters. One has only to look at cougarboard to see what high volume can do. I enjoy brief visits to cougarboard but that site just can't compete with the quality on this site. There are far too many people there and too few of them are interested in good discussion.

I agree about Sleeping in EQ. He is provocative in an intelligent, reasonable way.
