I cannot respond to your posts when they are replies to people I have on ignore. If you've got something to say to me, come out and say it. Don't hide behind idiots.

So what's your problem? You claim I lack knowledge of Druidism, but you fail to give an example. In fact, you offer nothing to the discussion except to insult me. Please point out any statement of mine that you feel is contrary to Druidism. You've had two chances to enlighten me but instead, have just only spoken in a condescending manner that reveals yourself to be completely ignorant of social etiquette.

So am I all wrong? Are Druids actually tree-haters? I can find no reference to that in all that I have read.

Your application is under consideration
