[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8005984, member: 7023840"] On a very fundamental level, this is what I am talking about. You are taking individual quotes, and have ascribed to me the idea that I am arguing for a position commiserate with biases on opinion, and therefore you have the deeply felt need to correct my opinions and biases. Is it possible that is not what I'm doing, and as such, I have no real desire to engage with you on this, since I don't really feel the need to defend a position I do not have? What is truly weird to me is that, as far as I know, I do not "own" a thread. And yet, I have now spent multiple posts trying to explain to people that they are welcome to disagree with me, but just because they demand that I argue with them, doesn't mean I have to. It's kind of odd? I mean .... I assume I didn't miss the memo that said, "When someone really disagrees with you on the internet, and keeps saying that you have bad opinions that you don't even hold, you are required to argue with them until they are satisfied that they have word-bludgeoned you to submission." And since I don't think that memo exists, I will exit this conversation! I'll post the fourth part on Monday or so; enjoy it, or not. :) [/QUOTE]
