I believe that tw posts here only to share knowledge, no feelings, emotions, thoughts, hopes or dreams - perhaps he has none - I do not know. I post here to open myself up to a most diverse group of individuals whom normally I would not have an opportunity to interact with IRL. I disagree with many, agree with more and I am constantly learning from their differing thoughts, opinions and perspectives - all based on their life experiences. THAT to me is what makes the cellar so valuable.

I too am tired of this tw as I have told you before. tw is obviously well read and educated. tw has a broad range of knowledge. Perhaps the fact that my knowledge lies in areas specifically counter to his is a problem for him, I do not know.

For tw's information, I would like to tell tw a little about me – perhaps tw could do the same – tw’s choice. I too am well educated. I have two degrees, one in Business and another in Human Resources. I have lived through many joys and sorrows and hope to experience many more. I am a father of three wonderful children, a daughter and two sons. I am the son of the two best parents I could ever hope for. I have family and friends whom I adore and who love me for who I am.

None of this makes my opinion any more or less valuable than tw's, nor do I feel as though I need to justify myself to tw. Initially I was intimidated by his technical writing style. I am more confident now than ever that his opinion is no better nor worse than mine - I am not inferior and will not be treated as such, nor should he. The apparent arrogance, the better, smarter, know-it all-style which he utilizes is perceived as an insult not only by me, but others as well. Intended or not – that is the perception of many readers. (Please take note of that) Am I emotional - absolutely. I know my emotions can get the best of me and I am working on that aspect of "me." That is without a doubt my biggest flaw and in some ways my greatest asset. So be it. They are part of what defines me and who I am.

I would like to end this right here and now - if tw is willing, just say so - if not -we can continue - tw's choice. The settling of our differences in some small way could be perceived as an example of how others could do the same. I am putting the olive branch out to tw - what tw does with it is up to tw. Let me know.
