[kj] CRASS commercialism!

[The Exorcist]

BTW, I just wanted to clarify one thing.

I do not doubt his intelligence and would never call him an idiot.
He has a brilliant mind.

I just think he is intellectually dishonest due to his need/desire to 
prove his beliefs
and won't let anything outside influence it.

Best Wishes,
Me

Ps.
I second your comment...
No one  is perfect... *ahem* *clears throat*

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is 
unethical, while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the 
spirit of diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
