I also believe that you were stirring the pot. If you say it wasn't your intent when you started it - so be it..........

I don't think there is anything wrong with holding the mirror up, so to speak. My only beef with it is that if you don't let people in on the joke, it becomes a real mean-spirited one.......

.....and as far as people thinking you are the "lesser" Neil: let's get this straight - a number of people (including me) ASSumed that you were. You openly admitted that it happens often.

Does that mean that you were purposefully using the mortal Neil as a cover? Of course not. But at some point - and I can remember at least one occasion - it probably would have been good for someone to clean that bit of potential confusion up.

After all, you did say that it happens all the time.

People are very quick to judge on these types of forums. You may have started this thread with the intention of showing the picture. Like I said, I don't doubt that the animal exists and it is your prerogative to supply a picture............. or not.

But after awhile, with all the little spats breaking out here and there, you had two choices - (1) Show the picture and let people see just how stupid some of their comments were or (2) tell everyone that they were acting like jackasses and that you were done with the thread.

You didn't, Neil, and this thing has devolved into a place that I'm pretty sure you didn't want it to go.
Your point? It is never the OP's fault that some of us don't know when to let go, perhaps that's the problem. Far as I can see, this was dead a while ago and you are one that revived it...

Miley said it best:

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The thread was fun, leave it at that. Perhaps some looked in the mirror, perhaps some were oblivious..but I can say that nearly everyone came back and commented..and that's the FUN of it. There's not always going to be an ending to every post that satisfies everyone.
