Shap wouldn't spend huge time responding to Paul if Paul didn't have that.
Just cause Paul is often wrong, doesn't mean he isn't right sometimes too. That's my point. Crackheads jump on Paul saying EVERYTHING he says is wrong. That's just stupid. Paul does say a LOT of intelligent things... sometimes you just have to look for it amongst 'other' material he writes about. Sometimes Paul is wrong, but sometimes Paul is spot on.

Personally, the problem I have with Paul is his ego. That is just something I dislike in people in general. I will call anybody out on that shit though as too many people have an ego that is larger than their accomplishments.
Using shap as another example... I like him because people know how successful he is but it isn't through his own cheerleading. He speaks as an authority on things he is an authority on and just speaks generally on things he is not. I've seem him say in so many words that he was wrong about something. I can't recall Paul ever admitting to being wrong.
Hell people say you have a huge ego but i've even seen you step down once you find out more info (mark Hurson threads). I think you've become much more tolerable because whether you'll admit it or not, you've learned that you're not invincible and don't have all of the answers. You own up to your mistakes, not try to spin and spin until people forget.
