I'm quite sure it wasn't the truth that frightened Robbie.

Lack of civility, tact, courtesy, respect for others...you know, the things that separfate us from the lower life forms.

The numbers don't add up to me robbie. Check out the Universe time and distance thread. I am very ignorant of this issue though. It is hard for people to understand something having no begining and no end but that may be because everything we experience on this planet in our lives has a beginning and end.

Looking at some of Robbie's posts recently, i doubt that was the reason. He gives as good as he gets, if not more so.

Having perused the posts, I don't come to the same conclusion that you do. Granted, my count could be off.

Indeed. Lower life forms lack the ability to use courtesy, tact, and take into account others' feelings when making a decision (aka empathy).
