Scout, sometimes living in a megalopolis can have strange effects
on the mind and understanding and behaviour. Being aware of
this, there is much those of us far from the madding crowd can
indeed accept from you. But please, for your own health and
sanity, not to mention those young minds for whom you are
responsible, see your fantasy for what it truly is--Capt Neal
just CAN'T BE Bobsprit!

"Gilligan" wrote
Well, what if it be my vice,
My pleasure to displease--to love men hate me!
So sad ~ these words!
Preemptive scorn is scorn of self and fear of self-worthlessness!
Why does Captain Neal doubt himself so?
He is not Don
Quixote afterall, he is the Cowardly Lion!
You can do better than that.
How so? The Cowardly Lion is one of the most complex characters in
literature!
William Jennings Bryan was a right-winged, opinionated, blustering bully.
He was smart and talented, but at best, history will remember him as a
tragic hero; the primary cause of his own failure.
He is an invention, a cathartic adventure for some other here whose
monogram
is a paper thin mask of civility.
Explain your use of "monogram". You forgot to read the introduction or do
you really believe that civility walks hand in hand with "not mincing
words
to spare the thin skinned or ignorant"?
Simply this: CN is very likely a darker personna of some regular poster here
who, having earned the respect of the group, does not feel free to expose
his troglodytic tenets under that same name.
Does *Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde* ring a bell?
