@kellyjaysaid Duke, I agrue with you all the time, and hardly ever find myself agreeing with you, but I do like you, why, I don't have any idea.! 🙂 You more than likely lose points with some for that too, apologies. LOL
I'd like you more sir if you were an atheist. (Joke).
'Despise' is actually a stronger form of hate. For example, you might say, 'I don't just hate him, I despise him.' Whereas it would make no sense to say, 'I don't just despise him, I hate him.'
