Wow, and people accuse me of blogging just to get my name in lights. I
read boycottnovell because I believe in questioning everything, not that I
necessarily agree with anything I have ever read here, but keeping an open
mind is important to me, but I read conflicting points of view because I
will readily admit I'm wrong when it can be proved to me.
There is no proof here, just narcissism attached to a full blown paranoia
complex.
