On the one hand, it does seem mean if he is really as old and sick as he says. On the other, he ripped me apart and put me on permanent ignore because of my patriotism and passion for Freddie and Fannie's continued existence, and apparently my advocating we become proactive. He constantly brags about his family and personal fortunes. If I write and ask questions on this board, because of his rant my questions get ignored. So I'm mean for being mean to a meany.. as the devil would say - go figure..
