"Ya' think? I've observed V correcting himself, admitting to not knowing something when he does not, admitting wrong. I don't recall any other member who has posted as much retraction or apology."
He admits to wrong very little...mostly if coerced by yourself, W or T. He retracts when it suits him (i.e. edits something when it makes him look better or so others do not see his original post). His apologies are few and far between. It was a huge matter for him to apologize to Uny for being an azz one evening while (admittedly) drinking and replying to her posts from his stance of being above others.
So, it is due to his negligence and misconduct that he is due to paying apologies. His disregard for other people.
As I mentioned earlier, he claimed when VWT came into existence, it would be a place for people to speak their minds and not be censored. Where folks could come to learn, offer and share what they could in that forum. HE has changed the rules to his liking. If he chooses he does not like the subject matter, POOF, no explanation needed other than "I do not like....(pick your version)" and therefore it will not be here.
He is intimated by people who know more (or at the very least, his intellectual match) and people who have more compassion than he.
"I always (long before now) considered it his sense of humor. From one perspective, perhaps considered distasteful or hurtful, from another - the outcome/end result of restrained frustration by what he considers attack or complete nonsense from another."
It is more often than not distasteful or hurtful. As for complete nonsense from another, why is anything that others think, feel, speak complete nonsense because 'lord' Vulcanel does not consider it worthy of his 'intellectual belief'? This guy is just a freaken guy, no better than any other. His intelligence is not of another planet as he pretends it to be. He is a Common man with knowledge of much. This does not make him any less common though.
I understand (have seen you do it many times) you defend him strongly. More power to you. I do hope you see him for what he is, though.
Also, unlike V, I do believe everyone is entitled to speak their mind. Even if it appears to be pure bs*it to me.
