The thing most modern people don't understand about being patient is, that if you practice it, then you get really good at being able to outwait, and maybe even outwit, the other guy at his own game.
And if you can outwait the other guy then you've already done something he can't.
And if you can do something he can't, well then, he can't do something you can.
And if you can keep at that kinda thing long enough then over time that's makes a helluvah big difference.
And a helluvah big difference really starts to show if you can just be patient awhile.

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
Anyone who thinks it's a good idea for us to just pull out of there now is insane.
