[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7536664, member: 6795602"] That's because I think you are mostly interested in what I've coined as the "versatility" reason. I think you may be fixating more on a word or phrase than the concept I'm using such to represent. I use words and phrases as a shorthand to reference a particular concept. You seem to be trying to "prove me wrong" by using that word or phrase in a different way than I was. But the thing is, I'm not particularly concerned with what word or phrase gets used to reference the concept I'm talking about. I'm more concerned when someone starts trying to disprove me by making points about the word or phrase I'm using for shorthand instead of the meaning I'm imparting to that word or phrase. So ultimately my answer here is what difference does it make one way or the other. None. Good. You should also be willing to acknowledge that it totally disproves any notion that I'm trolling or just ignoring or not listening to others points. I have listened to all points and gave the reason I dismissed any of the ones I've dismissed. You disagree with my reasons to dismiss those. But instead of giving reasons regarding your stance, instead you and others go on to the next point and then get mad when I dismiss that one for the same reason. In the future instead of getting mad and accusing me for trolling or whatever else, how about you address my reasons for dismissing a point. Remember my reason was always: "I'm saying X, you are making a point about Y. Therefore your point about Y while true isn't relevant because I was talking about X". Just coming back and stating Y is relevant isn't going to cut it in that situation. You need to offer some reasoning for how those 2 things relate. No one has done that. If they would have that would have I would have listened. I'd still be happy to hear that reasoning now, but I don't expect I will. In case you didn't realize I did that on that one single post (that I believe was a post by a different poster than you) because of all the frustration I've had in having to state my same position over and over. Why did I do that? To frustrate the poster by ignoring what he said as I feel the things I've said this whole thread are being ignored. [/QUOTE]
