Sycamore, real adults don't need to constantly remind everyone they are adults. Personally, I find your posts demeaning ... you talk down to people as if you believe only what you say or think matters. I guess you must be the authority on everything. I can't imagine how we ever managed before you showed up.
If this is how you talk to a friend, how do you talk to an enemy? If you have a problem with Van, why do you air it here instead of in private? You saw him in person on Friday. Oh I get it ... this is the way a "non-conservative" chooses to discuss thngs privately. Hmmmm
