Jack.. are you the comic book artist or the Desert Survilalist? This is all good everyone!

Janiece: I'm the tennis shoe. Depending on what you're referring to I might be the survivalist. I wrote
Desert Emergency Survival Basics and a few other books. But who I am has no bearing on the thread. I came on originally and explained I found what you'd posted interesting. I made the unfortunate mistake of assuming you were a Mormon because of something in your post, and I made an observation about Mormon geneologists I considered complimentary.
I honestly believed that was the end of my writing and the beginning of my reading on this thread. Instead I've somehow become the topic, not enough to have apologized for my mistake, not enough to have refused to argue, not enough to have answered your questions about what I thought about Mormons and their history, or about second languages.
Maybe we can start all over. If you read how this all developed I didn't come here spewing venom or rancor. I'm still not.
I'll read the thread, as I originally intended to do. But there's nothing I expect to be able to contribute to it, given the thorniness and attitude, along with the fact I know nothing of your intended subject.
So why not just forget I'm here and proceed.
Jack
Afterthought edit: Backing up after reconsidering the company I'm posting in. I have nothing to do with the tennis shoe Jack Purcell. It was intended as humor, not as a deception. So far as I'm aware I have nothing to do with any comic strip character.
Whatever the heck I've done on this thread to draw what I've drawn, please consider it
withdrawn. If you don't like me or my posts put me on ignore as I've done Joe some while back. I have no ill feeling toward anyone on this thread, nor toward anyone on TN [except for an individual from a long time ago I keep an eye on but don't communicate with, and that's confined to deep suspicion and mistrust]. I don't care what anyone opines about me, here, nor anywhere else. Having said that, feel free to pile any kind of calumnies on me you wish. I'll try to smile without answering.
Gracias
Jack
