I haven't been reading here long enough to encounter clues beyond the "civil/not civil" calls. But wow! After reading your hunches and comparing them to mine, which are based on no knowledge of him beyond the establishment of this board, I see that I really MUST idealize certain *types* of people (I KNOW I don't idealize in general by any means). I was sitting here assuming he had all the answers and could read between the lines of every misplaced punctuation mark on the entire board with one brain hemisphere tied behind his back. And that y'all have surely helped him achieve that level of comprehension of course!!!
So, the ultimate blank slate, at least here. You're right! And I won't even take it personally coming from a website, which couldn't crack a smile if it wanted to! Even if I was wearing a pink camisole!! : )
