Fruitbat, would you be kind enough to identify or provide what you mean by having "skin" in the game?
Thanks for taking anytime to answer,

No problemo. I've not looked up the exact definition, but I have deduced from the context in which it was used that when one has some "skin in the game", it implies that one has some investment and commitment to ones chosen course of action. Now however you View Linda Brown, (and there do seem to be a number of ways of looking at the lady), She is indeed committed and invested in her chosen course.
Of course, I also meant to ilustrate the contrast with someone who would profess fierce loyalty to one person one moment, and then turn against them the next, such a person would not be said to "have skin in the game".
Kevin of course is such a person, hence me using it in a post directed to highlight some of his many shortcomings. It's not a nice way for me to behave, sure, but honestly, has he been nice to me since I came here? From my perspective, he's been asking for a bit of sharp tongue for some weeks now. Your rules didn't preclude it, and I've tried not to be pre-pubescent, otehr wise I'd just refer to him all the time as "Smeagol" which given the way he conducts himself could be considered entirely appropriate, if it wasn't so childish.
I'm happy to sue for peace, I don't really enjoy being "not nice", but equally I have some real skin in the game as regards my my Cat's thread. Kevin, despite his denials is known by a consensus that formed independently of myself, to be a remorseless derailer of threads, I reacted strongly to him derailing Luis's train of thought on that thread, which unlike Kevins witless "what is a tumour?" was actually helpful to me in the process of clarifying my thoughts.
Perhaps wishing a fatal event to overtake Kevin Bentington was a slight over reaction, and by your leave, I'd like to retract that wish, and replace it with "I hope he wins a staggeringly large amount of money this week". Of course he could just stop being Evil, and leave us to get on with trying to cure my cat's cancer, which is already a substantial and somewhat daunting task even without some jerk trying to derail the process.
Or am I being unreasonable by the rules that apply here?
Fruitbat!
You were asked a simple thing to answer, but You have to add in Your constant distraction and destructive personal and lying further content.
You aare and have been at this for a long time, and have constantly targetted Myself with this barrage of lies stated in a fact like manner.
I am not , and never have been the derailer of threads, neither am I "Witless".
YOU are a liar with a personal problem riding on your shoulder the size of a great boulder.
My name is Kevin Bennington.
You have demonstrated to all the vile depths of your hatred towards myself that is based from elsewhere in your past.
Fear not for Linda will congratulate You.
It has led me to realise how close I am to the truth I am determined to reveal, and I will not be derailed by a lunatic such as Yourself.
I left the other two forums because of Your clear agenda focussed towards Me, and once You were installed as captain( gord help them) I realised the actual intent of linda and her blue bottle controller.
It is by a strange quirk or cosmic coincidence that I have landed back upon this forum, which must be really annoying to those who desired My total removal, they have a very determined hobbit now to deal with,
I do not back down , and will strive always to reveal the true nature of universe, that others desire to remain secret.
