Don't mistake this for my environment. I just hang out here. As for respect, I respect everyone's right to say what they think. You have succeeded in some areas where I have failed. I do respect that. In fact the only place I disagree with you is one which would be properly discussed in private.

And, you are the one that brought up your plight - I didn't. I tried to help, you rejected it.

But not because I wanted to talk about me or my problems - it was just a setup to express my esteem for your success.

And, I didn't say how humble I am, only where to apply it,

But it seems to me your comments are sometimes made from an assumption of rightness, never seeing that you might be wrong. That seems arrogant to me, so, if I was mistaken in my comments on humility, I apologize.

but I do see your attitude is that of someone who rejects people and society and has the making of someone who is destined to be homeless forever. Suit yourself. You make the bed and you have to lie in it. I'll quit wasting my time on it.

I don't reject people. In fact, people fascinate me. As for my status, you're right - it's my problem and I've never denied it, or, as you say, tried to shift blame. The only thing I blame you for is your own attitude when it comes to debate or argument. I just have a long history of problems with people whose style of debate comes from the sure conviction of 'rightness'. Any problem I express for you stems from that one perception.

I like how you twist things to make it look like my fault. Look in the mirror man. You are whom you made yourself to be.

Again you assume you are being attacked when someone disagrees. I gave you praise for once, and you told me how I could be more like you. Maybe you saw it as help, but I saw it as condescension.
Or maybe it's the problem with writing. One man's meat is another man's poison, one man's religion is another man's belly-laugh, and one man's help is another man's arrogance.
I don't claim to have any answers. I just question everything.
