As for KB, maybe once he gets a real job he won’t have so much time on his hands to obfuscate.

I am glad you have posted about all this. We are in for dark days. There is something biblical about it all, no? You know, in the last days there will a delusion?

“There was a cloud on the mind of men, and wailing went the weahther.”

Peace.

I’m sure he’ll issue an apology, a retraction, or perhaps a clarification. At the very least, an explanation.

I’m sure he’s working on it right now.
