Honestly, I shouldn't have lumped you together with TFF.
That out of the way though, what makes you say you think outside the lines? You really rarely say anything on here that would show that. Most of the time you blast people for being dumb only after the fact, and you seem pretty serious about it.
Which is, I guess, kind of ironic, as that is something that I think I just got accused of myself!
