Apollo never gets his intended. the story of Apollo and Hyacinth goes basically the same way, except he gets turned into a flower. (not ghe one we call that now, but a flower nonetheless.) Cassandra snubs him because clairvoyants are supposed to be virgins. (she probably is the only one who got super fucked.) and Narcissus fell in love with himself. Daphne's father was a river god--so he probably changed her back once Apollo lost interest.

I did not mean to offend shivaskeeper personally, and I hope you can all accept that "leans toward" was meant more of a warning than an actual accusation. I have been deeply involved in climate science for decades, well before it became political.Many of the arguments against climate change have use "climate is always changing" and "science is never certain" arguments, none of which are relevant to the current climate change problem.

Thus, the '"entirely" gave Perry an out' is conceding a sophist point to Perry and not a good thing to say. I will stand by that point.

That disagreement explained, I am not calling shivaskeeper a concern troll, just saying don't give them credit for nuances like this, and I do understand that we are generally on the same side and I apologize for offending anyone.
