...that you agree was exaggeration, you apologize for, but you also stand by? Sorry, that self-contradictory post is just a little comical.
No, your first post was dumb, and inaccurate. I don't know whether your second post was an attempt to clarify what you meant in the first post, or whether you were backtracking when called out on the inaccuracy of the first post: I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it was clarifying.
But, it is still wrong. It is beautiful in Utah. It is pretty impressive right out of my backyard in the main population center. I don't know of ANYONE who claims the Wasatch Front is more beautiful than anywhere else--I don't. I haven't heard that. More hyperbole, and more inaccuracy from you.
But it's not only not hideous desert wasteland, it is really pretty right here. Perhaps you should recognize that the fault in your communications is not in others misunderstanding, but with your series of posts.
