Obscurus,
I don't understand some of ggreg's thinking (I am still hoping he will respond to what I wrote earlier regarding his views about the faith). I also don't understand why he must constantly refer to his successes in the world.
Because he is of the world and to him worldly things and names have meaning and importance. He, like so many others of his particular makeup seem very much to enjoy irritating and goading others with his beliefs and associations.
