Say what you want about Smooth Operator, however, keep in mind that:
1) he wasn't gaga over RA --- how'd her season turn out?
RA the RD (Roberto Duran) of the TBRED set.
No mas, baby.
2) nor was he ever on the QR bandwagon --- notice how his many supporters are no longer beating their chest about how he'll have no trouble going 10F. In fact, they're now pushing the OPPOSITE. Now, that's prescience.
I know one thing: If I were pushing 1 and 2, and heavily, on these forums, I'd STFU for the rest of the year and not worry about Z or what her connections or her supporters were doing.
