Of course it's an opinion. I would think that's a given.

Nope. What I said was I've already thought it out and I won't change
my mind. But of course you couldn't be wrong, right?

Nor did I yet it was attributed to me. So it's ok for you to have a
'strong opinion' and I can't? And it seems that my strong opinion is
"inflammatory" too!

Nothing but trolls responding to an personal opinion different than
theirs.

And because you're desparately trying to extend this thread as long as
possible. Classic trolling. Say stupid inflammatory things for the
explicit purpose of drawing out as flamed a response as possible and
then extend it as long as possible. It's pretty much the troll's
FAQ. The fact that you're really Alex pretty much seals the deal.

Man, it's been so long since I've thought about Alex that I've forgotten his
header info. If he's Alex, though, his vernacular has changed
significantly. I wouldn't have guessed Alex, but he hasn't denied it,
either, so...

Now who's extending the thread?
Like I said I said nothing inflammatory at all, unless you can prove
differently you're lying. Typical troll, lying and extending the
thread.

And I'll wait to see what 'inflammatory" things I've said. This should
be a good laugh!!!

Right, I was curious enought to look up the numbers to see how much
of a truism this was. Colin was curious enough to do a term paper on
it.
