Can't make our date on the 26th, cyberjesus (or, can I call you Cy?), but sincere thanks for the invitation. I would very much like to hear Mr. Harris speak. If there was a possibility, I would have been delighted to call your bluff.
You are intelligent so you already know that the ability to bluff is really a good survival mechanism and factors in the evolution of our species. You can neither win in poker nor in life if you never bluff - but that's just another one of my paradigms. To me, only an inveterate gambler with a death wish would never bluff when inviting a strange, apparently aggressive man on the internet to a rendezvous, even if there were hundreds of people about. I could think you were coming on to me or I could just be someone who really hates to lose an online argument. I will hasten to add the evidence will substantiate that neither description applies to me but I do have a tendency to call confident people on stuff I perceive to be bullshit, amongst other quirks. Sometimes I jump to conclusions, as I did in your case. Regardless, I don't mind being bluffed, especially when it is so transparent.
Good conversation. Thanks for letting me play.
