Quote - People pick fights with you because your attitude annoys them.

Okay. Whatever.

But you don't even know me. And just so you know, I've received private site mail on more than one occasion by folks here at Renderosity telling me how much they enjoy my posts, so I guess everybody isn't quite so annoyed as you think.

I used to debate some pretty bright people, and we disagreed a lot, but we didn't generally insult one another or jump to conclusions about one another's motives.

I miss those guys ...

And I've noticed people don't pick fights with me very often to my face, only virtually. And I've also noticed most of the virtual fights people pick with me are right here on Renderosity. I wonder why . . .

Well, in any case, oops, there's that phrase, I did get something wrong in my discussion about one of those links. Maybe a lot more. And you guys are probably right about Moore's work being something less than or more than documentaries, but I've been around long enough to notice there are misrepresentations of the facts on every side of every issue, even if everyone who does it doesn't catch so much criticism for it as Moore does.

And as PapaBlueMarlin said, this Moore thing is really off-topic, so I won't say anymore about it.

Oh, and regarding my advice to tebop, I didn't mean to belittle the importance of integrity, or anything else you said, operaguy (which for all I know may be why you went off on me in the first place), but clearly people skills are extremely important.

Well ... clearly to me, anyway, er, in any case.
