» _Boanerges_ - To Brian "circling the wagons"

But Phil will now probably call you a sycophant for paying me that compliment.

no doubt.... but.. whatever..

I believe a compliment (such as it is) is due.. We are encouraged to exhort our brothers and sisters in the faith. My main point was that your "contending for the faith" is worthwhile, even though it may at times (even - most times) not be visible to us..

So then, think of it as an exhortation, as verses a compliment.. In that aspect, "sycophant" could be adjusted to Phil's uses of "circling the wagons".. (haha)... (the image I have is a bunch of hapless cow-boies being rounded up by a bunch of hustlers... ready to scalp us or whatever.. kind of comical in a loose sort of way...
