Re: Here is the deal.....

"V and T might be fun loving, intelligent, very nice people"

They are... that is one of the reasons so many, justifiably believe in them.

Trust is a matter of personal view. I would trust V, trapper, and Corinthian under certain circumstances... with my life if need be.

I include Corinthian as our debates are most likely well known.

Have you ever mountain (rock) climbed? I have trusted people I would never have under normal circumstances, some I did not even know, some I did not care for, with my life, and found I could do so implicitly. Given common ground and a common cause, something happens when one must rely solely on another for survival and has no choice. V, trapper, and Corinthian, have very strong traits of people you could count on in a crunch, with your life, no doubt about it; differences would be brushed aside.

There are a few others in these forums that express or show the same traits... they know who they are.

I have had, those I would call good friends at one time, let me down in life threatening circumstances... due to their own fear and "shock" response under the circumstances, more than anything, where a stranger would step up. I am a survivor. Trapper, V, and Corinthian all know that.

Survivors and tough people are hard to find these days.

I actually do not remember your anger towards me... I never hold onto grudges or ill thought. I accept your apology; thank you.

That one trait of mine... not holding grudges or ill will gets me burned, sometimes all too often, but I can handle the fire.

I would never engage in a "real" physical fight with anyone unless forced to defend myself from injury, and then, only without inflicting injury on the opponent if possible. Tweet
