Amos,

"Don't be an ass, Bruce. Sounds to me like we both carefully selected out the parts of the timeline that fed our presuppositions. I don't think either of our two descriptions is uniformly the way it was, and it is far more likely that both were in play at different times."

Implying, since you admit "BOTH" that YOU are/were being an ass?

Or was that just your normal Liberal method of addressing someone?
