[QUOTE="Esker, post: 7836985, member: 6966824"] It really doesn't seem like you've been listening to what various people have been trying to tell you. It's not about the content or logical consistency of your statements; it's about tone. It's a consistent pattern that you can come across as arrogant / abrasive / condescending (pick your synonym). It doesn't especially bother me personally, and I don't know whether it's intentional or not -- I typically give people the benefit of the doubt about intention, especially online where it's easy to come across differently than you intend, and where people have things going on with themselves and their lives that casual forum-acquaintances have no way of knowing about -- but after so many people have pointed it out, I think it would behoove you to spend a minute or two reflecting on that, and (assuming it was not intentional) at the very least apologizing for the miscommunication, rather than doubling down and insisting on a response to your specific narrow question by way of defensively avoiding the actual issue. And I say this as someone who generally enjoys interacting with you here. It'd be better all around if you could figure out how to make your (usually insightful and carefully reasoned) points in a way that didn't "engage the ego of your reader" as Umbran succinctly put it in post #270.
