Very astute of you. After years of cautiously considering FR to be my friend, a group of insiders here decided to have a staged argument to boost the participation.

All went well until FR's rancor turned decidedly vicious. In a PM, I asked him if he had some sort of issue with me. His reply was surprisingly a most definite affirmative. I asked him if he had gotten the memo regarding the staged argument. Our relationship has gone downhill since that time. I have thrown a few olive branches only to have them thrown back in my face.

His callous disrespect for the respected dead, his selfish regard for himself above all others or groups and his disgusting abuse of the English language are the primary reasons that I no longer consider him to be a friend and wish that I could lose his acquaintance. How many people do you know that would brag about not giving their peers here a plus rep because in his mind he has no worthy peers here. Such an unmitigated self centered boastful asshole!

Oh yes! It's real!
