I suggest you stop gaslighting Peter and instead address this one simple issue:
Agreed - so you should, for the sake of civility if nothing else.
Where is he gas lighting Peter? It seems to me that he is being respectful and wishes Peter would stop setting himself up to be disappointed. Of course it is Peter's right to believe what he will as it is others, but it is painful to watch because I understand the desire for a better world. It just is not going to come through AR, but even I am still here wasting time on the subject!
