Phil,
Bob is right. Too much time spent on this. But just for the record, though I appreciate your psychoanalysis of my psyche and assessment of my character, you are mistaken on most counts. Yes, I do overdo things at times, I'm a little obsessive compulsive. I also see some things as black and white, when there is often more gray involved.
But I am not driven by ego. I have the ability to be critical of myself and allow others to be critical of me, and listen to their opinions and consider them sincerely.
What irks me with this guy, is that I don't like liars. I can't stand liars. Particularly liars that feed off people I care about, or things I care about. Coming in here, all full of sh*t and threatening people's careers is beyond the pale, when he is an alleged professional.
I am also a little blindsided by your and Anthony's posts to me. But I accepted responsibility for helping create some of that animosity and I apologized for it. I value the relationship I have with people here, including yours. We have disagreements, but I had a measure of respect for you, and enjoyed debating you, and felt you were an intelligent and well read person, from what I had gathered. There is always something to learn, even from people you vigorously disagree with.
It amazes me though, that you would go out of your way to defend a person lacking character, over a person who has character. Whether we disagree or not, I AM the kind of person who would always be honest with you, and would always have your best interests at heart. You slight that, even attacking my character as a whole, in favor of an obvious liar and charlatan that has the audacity to come into a community and threaten people and their careers.
That saddens me, both for your mistaken judgment of my heart, and particularly because it appears our friendship will remain impaired.

Only if he and his contacts can walk on water. Fear not whom can destroy the body. But fear he whom can destroy the soul. (not like music is a career for me anyway)
