Let me clarify.

There are STUDENTS....
and then there are the wannabies, the clueless, etcetera.

STUDENTS_ learn_ and_ progress.
The rest of the crop are mostly stuck in transmit mode.

The posts tell the story....
At least to some of us that are paying attention.

Although I hate to pat Bourbon on the back, he's right. There are
students who progress and do things. Bryan is one who does. But
Bryan is rare on this group.

Bryan is not a sideliner. He's not someone who watches this game from
the pits. He's an actor. He's a player. He's in the football field,
not cheering on the lines. That gives him a big difference in his
perspective. He's done a lot in his short lifetime. I'm proud of
him and his accomplishments. And, he is something I will never be,
that I admire, he's humble.

But Bryan I have to tell you something. As you get older, you do know
better, you just get tired of taking **** from idiots. You'll see my
young man. You'll see.

Look at this idiot who accuses me of saying that Jess's PSRU's failed.
How simple minded could you be? The guy libeled himself. He opened
himself up to a law suit if he caused me damages. What if I made my
money test-flying homebuilts for developers of things like Jess
developed and this idiot said this in a public forum and cost me a few
future jobs? There would be real damages because of his loose lips
and misinterpretations. I'd have to sue him.

So, instead of suing him, I just belittle him for being stupid here in
the same public forum. If he had his brain screwed on right IMHO,
he'd apologize. But, he's too full of himself for that. The reality
of it is that he screwed up. He owed me an apology and if he cost me
money, he'd owe me that money that he cost me. That's what the law
suit system is all about...recovery.

However, since he didn't cost me anything, I won't sue him. Because I
won't sue him, he's got a "Get out of Jail Free" card and he can
continue to shoot off his ignorant mouth. The only recourse I have is
to play with him a bit and point out how really profoundly stupid he
is by doing what he did.

I think as you get older you learn to call people's bluff like this
more and when you do, you get your pound of flesh for them screwing
with you. It's a lot simpler than using the legal system, and it's a
lot less damaging. Yeah, the guy might kick my ass someday, so what?
I've had my ass kicked before. But, I might surprise him and it could
go the other way too. I doubt that anything like that would ever
happen, hell, the guy is a librarian. Does that sound like a street
fighter?
