Well yes, except that doesn't really solver the "pompous and arrogant" problem, although it would be a step in the right direction. At least then one could say "Pompous and arrogant, but at least he's honest, bless his heart."

Having a bookcase "on the go", so to speak, doesn't count either if it's on the go indefinitely.

Amusingly, considering your persistent inability to seem to grasp anything more nuanced then "Nuh UNH! / Yah HUH!", your comment is really sort of a validation of my opinion. I mean, if you're impressed by someone, then odds are they have high superficial bluster and low meaningful content indexes and happen to fit in somewhat well with your myopic worldview.
You're kind of like a philosophical dung beetle.

It's a game. You read alternate sentences from each, the better to be struck by incongruous juxtapositions. You should try it with Lucky Jim, The Man Who Was Thursday and Calvin's Institutes. It's hilarious.

I've always liked Leo. It seems a shame that he has come in for attack by some know-all (presumably American) woman who has total knowledge of the bible and cannot accept any level of debate. Obviously she has read it but possibly not absorbed the message.

Damn, you know Ruth that well, do you? (Not to mention the implied prejudice against Americans) You also obviously didn't read the thread in question as it was Leo who wasn't interested in any opinion that didn't match his - and there were many who agreed with Ruth. I didn't post there, but I'm one who also agrees with Ruth.

She can be every bit as abrasive as Leo, true, but you miss the point that Leo tries the patience of a good many of his shipmates. And he had no patience and was graceless in the thread this hell call was based on.

You've got the two protagonists the wrong way round. Leo is the know-all who thinks he has total knowledge of the Bible and cannot accept any level of debate or dissent from his view.

Yes - well when two know-alls get out their bibles there is always trouble but did Leo really deserve being dragged to Hell?
Sheer shrewishness by La Ruth in my opinion.

Well that shows that you are not just a shrew but a dumb shrew because I was doing nothing of the sort. I was merely pointing out that everyone has a point of what is acceptable and what is unacceptable and it is arrogant to expect Africans to follow the same line that American liberals take.
