I have a word of warning to anyone who deosn't know ren. He is a
pathological liar and a charlatan.
Typically, he is using this situation to political advantage, posturing
as someone with power and influence and knowledge and authority that
exists nowhere but his own self-involved imagination.
I did not even bother reading the above. Nothing ren posts can be
trusted. He has the morals of a career criminal. He will say anything
that he thinks will make him look like the masterful magical adept
he isn't, or his critics look bad.

This one too. Go back and play wherever you started this thread at

:-) Actually, I think that "ren" is a mispelling of "wren".
He used to be much more self-aware and honest before he
got into trying the con the public into believing that
he's a magickal adept.
And he saw himself as a tiny little nondescript bird that
spends its life hiding in the bushes and twittering the
day away. That's the real (w)ren.
He'd never seen the name for that bird in print, so he
thought it was spelled "ren".
