Fair enough, Little Hawk.

Nevertheless, you are in the habit of standing to one side in any thread in which there might be some difference of opinion and "keep score" in a pretty frivolous and, frankly, superior manner, as if you regard yourself as "above such petty squabbles." Petty squabbles such as matters of civil rights, for example.

You're obviously an intelligent guy, but damn, Little Hawk, forgive me for saying so, but that can get tiresome and bloody annoying after a bit.

"Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
--Puck, in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Act III, Scene 2

I know you realize this, but sometimes I get the impression that you need to be reminded of the fact:   You're mortal, also.
