In my humble opinion, Omega, I'd say he was just making fun of you.
Of course, you're doing a much better job of making fun of yourself then anyone else could possibly do ...

And Omega, what you DID say about yourself (on the first page of this topic) was ...
"I can't speak in public, but I'm one of the smartest people I know (not to sound immodest)."
THAT is a direct quote.
What Jay said was:
"Well Omega (the smartest person you know),"
Kindly explain to me how the above is a lie as you claim?
You clearly state that you are the smartest person you know. Jay clearly states that you believe yourself to be the smartest person you know.
I dunno, maybe you meant you were the stupidest person you know?

And didn't you used to have a status line that read "Only as Humble as his talents allow"? There's a sign of a small ego...*cough*

Where did I say that?

Go to the first page of this topic, and read your first post. THAT'S where you said it.
Obviously (going by the words, you understand), you find yourself to be the smartest person you've ever met. You also, obviously, haven't met very many people.
Gee, Omega, again with the blanket statements? If I wanted a blanket statement about conservatives I believe it would be, "all Republicans are supporters of White Pride and the Klu Klux Klan." Now, thankfully, I've met many Republicans who AREN'T members or supporters of either of those, but the KKK (and neo-Nazis, and other hate groups) are part of the Republican party. Blanket statements are dangerous Omega.

Still a far cry for Omega to whine about Jay being a liar, tho.

He said I said something I didn't say. So did you. I'd rather call it a misquote, but Jay objected.

Oh, so no I'M a liar. I won't stoop to telling you to go screw yourself, which I should. I will however call you a fool and I caution you about using such terms.
And to paraphrase John Wayne from a movie I can't remember the title of at the moment, 'you'd better step off you high-horse there mister.'

Oh, you're too modest, Omega. I think I'll go over here and puke now. You obviously don't get it, do you? It's one thing to talk about how smart you are, and another to show it in your actions.
p.s. I just found out what Omega's really good for, though. I'm working from 5-8pm at the library tonight, and I was really tired and sleepy after dinner. Then I thought to come and read the Flameboard, because answering Omega's posts wake me up.

Well, Omega, Jay and I can always argue that we thought you were being sarcastic that you considered yourself only ONE of the smartest people you knew ...
So, its more our interpretation versus yours.

Well, no, I was being sarcastic refering to Omega as the smartest person he knows.
Again, I reference the fact that Omega should remove the stick from his but and talk about the subject at hand...and that would be our former drunk driver, little Dubya.
