If you had called me a jerk, Richard, I would not mind, as I look back and
I think I was. But calling Lar a jerk. C'mon dude. Extreme? Yes.
Intense? Yes. Well mannered? Yes. Right about a lot of things? Yes. A
jerk? No.
I still like you, but I did not like this post. I just feel sick to my
stomach - thinking I sold LEGO to this guy, he likes Pirates and so do I, but
he sure is caustic now. Again, I look back and I think I was too. Man, watch
what you are saying, you might be afraid to read what you wrote someday, ya
know. You might get along with Larry in real life (I doubt it) but you
probably wouldn't say any of this to anyone in real life. But that's your
real name there and this is real life too.
Have fun!
John
