No offense, but if you are still angry about a lie someone told you six months ago, and it wasn't a lie that damaged you financially or physically in any sort of way, that is an over-sensitivity.

And that is my bit of wisdom for the night!

I post this for the sake of posterity...

Yeah, right. The people who work for me know better than to blow smoke up my @$$.
But that is actually a form of social intelligence.
Actually, it is a form of @$$-kissing stupidity.

I agree, which is why I typically do not engage morons like you. That said, you chose to attempt to "win" this Internet argument.
Lying is sometimes what gets us through the day.
Cy...this statement speaks volumes about your character.
We don't live in Disneyland - life is not a fairy tale.
Agreed...I may be a bit utopian; however, my rose colored glasses have steered me the right way thus far.

I'm not angry. I simply judge people based upon their actions. Adrian is a liar, plain and simple.

I am exceedingly honest with myself and others. You seem to be the one with issues. After all, you have vigorously defended a pathological liar who was banned from this board. Why?
