Just a second there, Englert. I see nothing previously posted by either of the fellows that could be addressed as "Mr. R" (repechage or Road Fan) that would or should elicit such an outlandishly pompous and rude reply.
I need not explain what is wrong with your comments or your logic. However, I've been biting my tongue for weeks about the casual disrespect you have shown the members on this forum. I don't think you realize that you have frequently conducted yourself towards other individuals here in this same condescending manner.
Whether they know more then you or not is not particularly the issue as I see it - it is the fact that you've made it a point to openly call out another individual as being lesser then you, for no apparent reason other then to make yourself look better (and I can guarantee that it does just the opposite). If you disagree with a statement, there is a
respectful way to express your differences.
I don't wish to bring personal judgments into the foray, but I would be withholding a particular irk of mine if I did not mention that I find such accusations even more revolting when they come from a fellow who on multiple occasions tried to justify Mario Confente's involvement with Masi - despite all evidence to the contrary - and was proven to be unable to properly date his own Paramount.
This said, I can not nor intend to explain why this is the case with you. Just remember that no member on this forum is superior to another, with exception to those who make express attempts to put themselves on a pedestal. Those individuals, by doing so, voluntarily relinquish their previously equality for community-wide contempt for their snobbery.
Don't be a snob.
