Let's see, who started the name calling. I posted onFriendfeed that I thought the Huffington Post was not worth the electrons it was written on. Your reply was to call me a red neck. Or maybe you forgot that. So you are right. You are not only arrogant but don't know how to carry on a civil conversation. You resorted to the name calling first. So you can take your self-righteousness and use it somewhere else. BTW, I will bet you never even read any of my work. Good one Gregory. Let’s see, who started the name calling.

yes, i also have this problem of preaching, and it drives people away.

people are only interested in themselves, or if they are more evolved, in ideas, which is all about the personal expansion that comes from understanding.

I am not writing a novel here. I am just commenting on things. As for your comment on me not wanting to learn anything that would stretch my certainty, I say you don't know what you are talking about. As for preachers, I would say from your comment that you certainly are one. Constructive criticism is one thing but your whole comment is nothing but crap in my opinion. You are a total asshole. I saw your comment about the Huffington Post so I know where you are coming from. Thanks for the comment Gregory, but I don’ agree with anything you say. I am not writing a novel here.

But I've added you to <a href="http://www.blognetnews.com/hamptonroadsva/" rel="nofollow">Blog Net News / Hampton Roads</a>. I had the older version of your blog in there but just added the new version. Sometimes a blog needs a "nitch". And it takes a while to find it. Keep going, don't give up. Comment on as many other blogs as you can, send your new posts out on as many social networks as you can stomach. It will get there. Well I don’t know.
