Thom,

I had no expectation of modifying your behavior. It not my job and I have better uses of my time.  

I only want to put on the table what I viewed as your empty technique (ridicule vs content, and an attempt to self identify yourself as representing a group concensus which is not the case) and lack of repect for others.

Now back to a focus on an learning through an open exchange ideas.

Somewhere I read, if peaple dont have points of disagreement it means they are not thinking for themselves. The processing of disagreement fosters the examination of different perspectives and a closer look on thier own positions when crafting a defense. None of this would take place without "mixing it up" in a open forum.

Great forum!

GregFL:
Thanks!  It is a great forum, isn't it?

Mr./Ms. Baghead,

Thanks for the effort to clarify your purpose. I am puzzled, though, by the reasoning. Would you be so kind as to help me understand some things?

If not an expectation of modifying my behavior, what was the purpose of putting on the table what you viewed as my empty technique (ridicule vs content, and an attempt to self identify myself as representing a group concensus which is not the case) and lack of repect for others?

Also, how did you get the part about an attempt to self identify myself as representing a group concensus? What group? What concensus?

Wasn't your post, which you refer to, an example of ridicule vs content and an attempt on your part to self identify yourself as representing a group concensus and lack of repect for others as well as a diversion from the topic?
