When [I claim my opinion on religion/politics/abortion/hiking/climbing is obvious], you have several options to respond:
a) just let it stand as is,
b) thank the person for clarifying [a subjective opinion without any actual clarification], or
c) go on on on to argue why you are right nonetheless.
You really think that approach had legs? :lol:

This made my day. While we're on it, I do have a new theory...Tallgrass = Jmanner. There are only 2 people who write pathetic PM's.
Hey keep me out of this. I messaged you once in March, because you were being a dick.

You prove daily that some people are gifted with more brains than they can successfully manage.

Funny how that works.

That seems to be part of a contagion. A sad illness. Too bad for the gasbag to have caught it years before it even had a name.

Maybe he was patient zero.

I wish I would've thought to create an account only to point out what I consider trolling and name it to insult the admin for not cracking down on the post that most offend me.

Well, this new member named 'billblows' is also a TallGrass account, for his grand total of at least four different alternate accounts now.

But this is my final post I swear it. I'm out.
