Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Thanks girls! Who would have imagined it would be so easy to get others to so quickly, willingly, and unwittingly provide the “character“ in question such perfectly precise opportunities to demonstrate its present state of development or lack thereof?

On this particular forum, there is a desire for rational discussion. Try to fit in.

Oh, you must then think that I've been awarded some type of power on this forum. Or, you haven't quite grasped the context of the quote in your original post.

A man's character is judged by how many beers he can drink and not fall down.

Really! There is no implication that you do have any power, only time will tell if the actual power wielding "character" will view and treat your post in a manner consistent with similar posts of others.
