Jacques
You're a slow learner, aren't you?
I'm not sure how you measure invisibilty on your planet but I can assure you
that there are quite a few on this list whose public profiles, and I take it
that it is that primitive concept that you apparently esteem, are far higher
than yours or your friend's, who isn't the author of your remarks, so I
don't want to tar him in your feathers.
It might be, Jacques, that those people would consider it immodest to boast
about their 'success' on this list, if you have any difficulty with
'immodest' you can find the word in all the standard dictionaries.
Now I know it is many light-years from where you live to here, Jacques, my
dear fellow, but have you considered the possibility, I know this may seem
strange, that other places might have other cultures, even if you have
convinced yourself you speak their language, and that what might seem
acceptable on your homeworld might give offense here?
But I am, I must say, wholly convinced of your obliviousness to others,
strange though that you are so dull with it.
