what he should have done is ignore the thread. if he had actually changed, that's what he would have done.
and of course he's going to say he's changed his mentality. that's like a drug addict saying they're clean while asking for money - they have a vested interest in saying that (some detective you are). i'm not going to take his word that he's changed, i want to see it.
Alright, cut the, "detective" bullstuff boltster.
This thread is completely contradicting your 2nd paragraph. The OP didn't even wait and see whether he would act the same way he did several months ago. That argument is completely incorrect in terms of this thread.
Additionally, even someone who isn't egotistical will defend themselves when someone is trying blatant character assassination. I fail to see your point, boltster.
