		<description>Since this likely will be the only dose of honesty my &quot;friend&quot; will be doling out during this ordeal, I&#039;ll go ahead and let the location stand too.  No reason for me to censor his one attempt to be honest with others.

Not that I&#039;m too keen on it being placed here.  He&#039;d be better off being honest to his own people and dealing with the real-life repercussions to follow instead of sliding in one obscure post in a blog few read.  But oh well.  It is what it is.  I guess there&#039;s nothing over here for me to protect, so might as well leave it be.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m going to allow this attempt to out yourself stand on the blog, at least for now.  Though we&#039;ve talked since then and you know this is only a small start in the right direction.  A posting on a partially-anonymous blog doesn&#039;t prove a whole lot, though I do appreciate the sentiment.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re right.  A big dose of honesty would do me good.  I am sorry for the way I treated you and I want you to be my friend.  I love you!</description>

		<description>Maybe all that religious stuff we argue about isn&#039;t some trivial side issue.  Maybe it does matter because it reflects who we are at the core.  You believe in receiving some special &quot;authentic love&quot; because of the position you hold, but that claim smacks of conceit and arrogance.  How can you say that but then turn around and call us all equals?  It doesn&#039;t make sense, and I doubt you believe it for one instance.

If you are truly equal, why not come back to the so-called &quot;real world&quot; and live as the rest of us humans do?  What would you be without your cloak?  Maybe protection is the last thing you really need right now.  In 2009, I hope you see the light, though I doubt their &quot;treatment&quot; will be of any real use.  You aren&#039;t suffering from some narcissism disorder; you&#039;re just being a jerk because so far your tail hasn&#039;t been caught.  A big dose of honesty would do you good in the long-run.</description>
