Hi John --

Of course he was.
<<

Thought so.

>>Next to you, Jim probably dislikes me more than anybody.<<

Well, I can't speak for Jim, but I must say I have no reason to dislike you. I find your behavior childish, your social skills lacking, your mental reasoning questionable, your false bravado laughable, and your sense of connectivity seriously impaired, but why would that make me dislike you? (Really need to address that paranoia complex of yours, bud.)

>>FWIW, the comments were in poor taste and Jim has a long history here of being one to complain - but stays on the sidelines. Specifcally, does little or nothing to contribute to the development community.<<

Oh, and did I mention that your need to put others down in a misguided attempt to build yourself up was also rather transparent? Go ahead. Here I am. You clearly need more practice at this.

Not defensive. Rather, his comments are just plain out of line - because he has no basis to conclude what he is saying.

Given that he's in all liklihood "known" you for much longer than I, I find that rather astounding.
