I would think that Big Tex's big post would help me get some perspective on this entire debate if I knew which person to assign what piece of information. I mean there's lots of information in that post, but no way that I personally see to determine who to apply what comment.
Can anyone help here?
I have never understood the antipathy between Farkel and Minimus. Who struck the first blow? What was the first blow? Please. Someone tell me.
Via my own intuitive instincts, Farkel is way above average in intelligence. In addition, he plays a mean piano. Not only that, be he makes his music available to any who want it. By that one characteristic alone, Farkel reveals himself to be quite like others of a certain spiritual attainment: he gives of himself even when he is certain there is no hope of recompense. In fact, that might be the only circumstance in which he is willing to give of himself. That is a very laudable characteristic, especially in this gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, selfish world.
If Minimus has given of himself or contributed in any way of himself other than to start conversations by asking questions, I've not seen it. I look at his posts. If they interest me, I respond; if they do not, I ignore them. I am certainly not going to argue about it.
Now, if someone could possibly answer my questions, above, I would really, really appreciate it.
Many Thanks,
francois
