Trust me when I say this: Never in my life, have I put you on a pedestal
Although this doesn't even deserve a reply, let me tell you what I now trigger on. In this post, you said:
As a saint here, and possibly as a "respected" person, ....
The moment you invoke a role you've put me in, that's putting me on a pedestal. If I was just an ordinary guy, and had done that, would you have been as upset? If so, why did you feel the need to single out my role for you?

I'll stand by my claim. You put me on a pedestal just so you can knock it out from under me. Please stop that.

And any other post here that criticizes me with "because you're a saint here, BLAH BLAH", or "because you're a respected member of the community, BLAH BLAH", I'm now ignoring. Period. I'm just an average joe. Get over it. If your argument depends on some status you've assigned me, you've just weakened it. Make the same case without that, and I'll listen.
