     This sounds like you have an agenda saying 0 of 5 - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/2 15:51:22
          I said based on actual merit. On paper, it's 2 out of 5... - zounami MU - 3/2 15:52:09

                         That’s an agenda - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/2 16:20:15
                              No, because I'm qualifying my position w/ "earned" and - zounami MU - 3/2 16:26:38
