Aw, don't go gettin' all biblically serious on me. I was making a funny. Must everything I say be taken so personally by people, that they can't even recognize the humor in something? That's food for thought.I really figured you people would enjoy my ironic poke...especially since it included myself as a subject?

Yes, observation and study. Two things that I don't see enough of with many. That should be food for thought too.

"The clear motivation for ones intentions can never be mistaken for anything other than what is is."

Seemingly very insightful, prima facia. But relies upon a false premise, as I can illustrate by your own actions. The statement relies upon the premise that motivations will always be clear. Certainly anything that is "clear" should not be mistaken. As Ayn Rand said; "Only the primitive minded can fail to realize that clarity is oversimplification." But whether the motivation of another is "clear" is a matter of extreme subjectiveness.
There are people that get paid large sums of money to figure things like that out, and have similarly "significant" educations, whom disagree all the time as to such conclusions. It is not only beauty that is in the eye of the beholder.

So, I dispute your apparent assertion that motivations are always "clear". Did you not come to your own defense about your own motivations? Obviuosly you felt misunderstood and felt the need to clarify to RK. Why is that? Could it be that "clear motivation" is not always revealed, and you should also refrain from jumping to conclusions about me and my motivations, brother? I question not yours when it comes to your intentions about the welfare of Horned Lizards. If mine is in question to you, then could you elaborate?

My yea is always yea, and my nay, nay. I find myslef to be quite consistent and one need not be confused about where I stand. I make a point of saying exactly what I mean. Though it may not be what someone wants to hear, nor seasoned for their individual palate, I harbor no guilt.

Galatians 4:
"16Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?"

"18It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good..."

I can also take from a book to support my position. Remember that before you direct religious text at someone. And that's big food for thought.

No harm intended, and nothing harmful taken. Cheers!
