Questions for Callaway

[Callaway]

Callaway is one of the very few women I respect, here and in real life.

I could only respect Callaway IRL if i met her IRL. Online you have to respect her, but the cynic in me doesn't trust those who try to plat it too straight. It always makes you wonder what they're hiding.

it could mean that they are just a person who gives others respect, with an open mind.
who knows.

Every person that I met who was truely nice, was for the most part, stupid. Half the people that I've met who ACTED nice, were hiding their dark side. Callaway isn't stupid. I get the feeling she has a dark underside that she doesn't allow the world to see.

I think your statement that you believe that I have a "dark underside" because I am both kind and intelligent says more about you than it does about me.  Perhaps it has something to do with the way your mother treated you.  If I remember correctly, she was a religious fanatic who presented one face to her church friends and another face to her children.  She had factitious disorder and you did have that unexplainable illness when you were a baby so I wonder if she hurt you too and you were just too young to remember.

Nobody is 100% nice all the time, whether they are intelligent or not.  I am fairly patient but I have my limits, just like everyone else.

Damnit. Now when you say it, it comes to my mind that that's my experience too. I'm a smart person myself, and I can act nicely, but to be quite honest: I am not "truly" nice.

I'm pretty convinced that there are NO truly nice people.
They always are simply either fitting patterns that are
ingrained, or acting directly on their will. Even Mother
Theresa questioned her own 'goodness.'

is it ever appropriate to write you'd had in a sentence?

No, why ??

You’d is the contraction for both “you would” and “you had.”  I can't think of a sentence with "you had had" but if you can think of one, then you could properly use "you'd had" in its place.  If you used "you would had" then you would need a "have" in there, I think, so it would be "you'd have had" as in, "You'd have had a chance in the race, but you pulled your hamstring."

No, but if we took the sticky off it, then it might drift off the first page.

she doesn't want to answer too many personal questions.  she has her reasons.
but she may be the most intelligent person here and has no problem answering technical questions.
