BTW, how many times was that again that you've come looking to me, expecting sympathy? I don't recall that you've answered the question -- and as we *know* you must answer it, since it has been asked.

Oh, it was a couple of times, in some of my weaker moments.

Ilion

I know it was a couple of times; I just wondered had you kept a count? (I hadn't really) I thought an accurate count might be interesting at the moment. Do you also know (of course you don't) that I prayed for you for a few days one of those times? The one that, unless it was just an act, was severe.

That was after you tried to get me kicked off the site, right? Which is obviously long before you became a human being in an attempt to make me feel too guilty to continue attacking you.

You misrepresent. As always.

Ah, is that it? Well! good thing you saw through my little ruse, isn't it? Whatever would you do, what reason would you even have to get out of bed, if you couldn't forward to "attacking" ( :laugh: ) me?

Well, OK, explain to me what you were really doing.

I doubt that there's anyone here who didn't.

Well caught. I know its a common misquotation but I cant for the life of me remember the original.

Player Queen: Both here and hence pursue me lasting strife, If once I be a widow, ever I be a wife! Player King: 'Tis deeply sworn. Sweet, leave me here a while, My spirits grow dull, and fain I would beguile The tedious day with sleep. Player Queen: Sleep rock thy brain, And never come mischance between us twain! Hamlet: Madam, how like you this play? Queen: The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Oh well, thats not too much of a misquote. Talking of Shakespere I once saw a sign in a camping shop window: "Now is the discount of our winter tents" which I thought quite witty.

He completely reversed the meaning and got rid of the delicate pause that makes the remark so...remarkable.

Neither was George Washington, the 15th President!

OK having methinks at the end casts some doubt on the the strength of the sentiment expressed but it isnt that serious.

That isn't what I meant. The placement of the 'methinks' doesn't matter unduly, it's the meaning of the word 'protest'. Gertrude meant it like someone 'protesting their innocence', and it's brilliantly ironic in the context of Hamlet's play.

I think Ilion is voting on this thred.:suss: Anyway, I've got some heavy driver coding - debugging to do. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and so it goes on like the last three tomorrows.

You call that experience?

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

What do you call it?

I would call it less experience than any president we have ever had. In fact, I would call it far less experience than most people pushing 50 who are not president.

What must it be like ... to be so transparent that you can't even see yourself?
