If you will peruse the earlier posts in this thread you will see that it was I that first came under attack from several fronts. I therefore maintain that I am acting in self defense.

As for humility, humility is for losers.

I consider myself a lot smarter than most of you here.

The only posters that I feel are anywhere near me in intelligence are Rajoo, Potter, and Blue Streak. I realize that this statement will serve to cement my status as "Persona Non Grata" but what the Hell do I care?
You certainly do hide your light under a bushel.

I did not watch the debate, so need to trust the polls, except the polls are not that trustworthy. I have read that the popular wisdom says Hillary won the debate. Yet here is a synopsis from Fortune that thinks otherwise. So Tom is correct, we need to wait a couple or more days for all the polls to filter through and sink in.

The only problem with that is that it was "Online polls" that declared Trump the winner. Now if you want to talk about voter fraud run an online poll where the deal is vote (and vote often).

And Tom still has his head in a strange and smelly place.

The fact that you don't care doesn't mean that nobody else does.

I don't blame you for trying to deflect.

If I had done something that dumb I would be embarrassed too.
To some here (and I am not saying who, they know who they are) this place as become a place to take out their unhappy lives on folks that are not in lockstep with their view.

You know what I mean.

obviously, but why they care....

So what, he pays no withholding and never gives to charity.

We already know that.

So?

And if it's so important, make it a legal obligation to release.

As it's not, IMO, those screaming for it have no right to.
