Interesting...

Well, Pappy, you really can't expect too many people you don't know to be reading this site. I really don't expect that you'd want to give out 10,000 admin accounts to total strangers anyway. But, I've always had a healthy amount of respect for you as a person, so I'd like to make a bit of a personal request.

If at any time you feel the need to say something about me, whatever it might be, good or bad, please do so publicly. I have nothing to hide from anyone, nor am I scared of anyone's reaction to anything anyone might say. As far as you being "brutal", I highly doubt it's that bad. People accuse me of being a cynical, blunt asshole all the time, but when I turn around and ask them, "Yeah, but am I HONEST?", they can do nothing but bow their heads and agree. There's a fine line between brutal and honest, and the two usually go hand in hand.

Besides, I've never known any of us to think twice about saying something straight to somebody's face, regardless of the consequences. Despite the individual differences I may have had with certain people, I always appreciated that fact about everyone, and I would consider myself a terrible person if I didn't tell people exactly how I felt about certain things. And really, that's how I avoid talking behind other people's backs. I can recall very few instances where I've said something about someone that I hadn't already said straight to the person's face. And now, I must get back to work in this fun-filled library. Adieu.
