If He was in the form of a person, I wouldn't know. If it was something
that could punch me in the nose but didn't look like a person or any
other common critter, I'd be suspicious. However, I don't know that
"God" would be my first guess.

Fair enough, I agree that if He punched you in the nose, I suspect you
would be within the bounds of reason if God was not your first guess.
Do you have any thoughts or guesses about what God would do if He
confronted you face to face, if not punch you in the nose? TnT

He'd say: "How the hell could you talk about god with Tinkerntom for this
long! I was reading the thread and my head started to hurt so much I tried
to kill myself, but as you know, I'm an omnipotent spirit, to such an extent
that I can't even do myself in!"

I can see that lake of fire now, Kman on one side, and rick on the
other, yelling at each other. Liarman!!!!! Scumbag!!!!! And it goes on
forever and ever and ever! Now that would be hell for the rest of us!

That would be nice, and I would find it easier to find KMANs post, and
to post to them, since I know I would not have to wade through a bunch
of "stuff" that at this time I choose not to wade through. I am sure
there are many things that would be much more profitable to discuss! As
far as I am concerned, he apologized satisfactorily to rick regarding
the first issue, and also posted modifying and clarifying info
regarding the second tiff, which should put the situation to rest.
Regarding "r's" intransience, that is something that probably will not
change, and any apology that KMAN expects from r is unlikely. TnT

I know, but at least the whole world now knows - without a doubt - what a
complete and utter asshole he is :-)

Esopecially since I have nothing to apologize to him about. he
has yet to offer his apology though, the one even you said he
owed.

All I said was that - in my opinion - the people in Newfoundland were not
waiting 2 /12 years for treatment. They were receiving treatment as
mentioned by the doctor in the article. But, whatever you think about those
good folks in Newfoundland, I never said that no one in Canada ever waits
for treatment as rick is alleging, and continue to insist upon, despite his
total inability to demonstrate otherwise. And for that, he IS a scumbag.

I understand what you said! The rest of the world understands what you
said! The only one who will not accept what you meant, and modified,
and clarified 25 times, is rick, and he may never choose to acknowledge
your first apology, or the modification of your second "declarative"
statement. That may mean that he is not a nice guy with civil manners!
So what, the longer you continue with him, the lower into the mud you
sink. It is up to you whether you choose to get out of the mud!

I think I can speak for a lot of people here on RBP, at least in
regards to this issue, your reputation is intact, and noone thinks less
of you for your mis-speaks. Hey we have all done it, and you
acknowledged it, which is hard, but none think anything the less of
you, and your continuing constructive input is welcome. However, I
would point out that as long as you continue with rick, you have little
that is worth responding too. At least I find it rather boring, and
certainly not stimulating. Maybe I should not speak for everyone in
regards to this. However I see no one else choosing to get between you
two, which would indicate that they are somewhere else. The sandbox is
lonely when you look around and noone else is there. TnT
