Sheldon is certainly a person. He deserves some respect. The phrase
"just as you and I" doesn't work for me. Perhaps in real life it is
true. I certainly hope so.

Nevertheless, the fact that you choose to engage him, means you are
choosing to associate with him. What does that say about you?

20%, IMNSHO. Sheldon is very knowledgeable about some things.
Unfortunately, his knowledge usually gets lost in the garbage. When it
doesn't, it gets lost in the lies, racism and foul language.

A lot of wisdom there. Of course, it applies triple to Sheldon. I got
tired of his silly attacks years ago. Just about every mention of
mushrooms invokes an attack. Any mention of buying ground beef gets an
attack.

Sometimes simple is best. Of course, we don't need to write posts about
buying strawberries, rinsing them off, and eating them au naturel.
