One does not need a crystal ball to see the obvious.

So, HS was just a vehicle for Ceppa to make vicious personal attacks?

I hung around waiting for someone to offer something intelligent to
discuss, but all we got was Wilson trying to wax poetic about his nonsense
church.

I see you trying to feign ignorance about Ceppa's character above.

With Ceppa and his lapdog Otto thinking they could act like children, of
course it turned out to be a farce.

There is no one there to carry on an intelligent discussion. I rarely post
in CROSSFIRE.

I know no such thing. As I said, no one seemed to want serious discussions
after you kicked Ceppa to the curb. I still have HS selected, but find
nothing there to comment on.

I hung in there because I had truth on my side.

Again, I did use it afterward, but I am loathe to carry on one sided conversations.

Sure, I could have run off with my tail between my legs, but I won't let
children trash me without pointing out their idiocy.

Then give him HS back and let him bury himself.

No, Wilson is a babbling old man who thinks he's my intellectual superior.

As I said, I still have HS selected and pull echomail from it... when
Wilson gets drunk and thinks he has something important to post.
