This is really starting to get into ad hominem territory, pawsplay.</blockquote>I'm confused. In what way am I attacking your character in order to discredit your viewpoint? I have referred only to behaviors evident in this thread. I've said nothing about you personally. "Your apparent lack of interest in modifying those assumptions" is of course an inference and identified as such (hence the term "apparent"). The behavior I am talking about is the same behavior you just demonstrated: you are attacking me rather than address in any way the merits of what I said.I don't acknowledge that your communication skills are being attacked. Rather, the quality of your arguments are being examined and found lacking.What sort of thing? I have stated my disagreement with what you've said. I take objection to this expression and the attitude it suggests.I take issue with you claiming supremacy on the issue and attempting to unilaterally end the discussion as the victor.This doesn't sound like friendly advice. It sounds like an invalidation of all viewpoints that disagree with yours.Unless you're willing to modify you're stance in how we are going to have thid discussion, I suggest that instead of complaining about how your communication style is critiqued, you simply stop participating in the thread, which will make your communication style a non-issue. Or we can attempt to communicate, which will require you to exercise your skills.Your ball.[/QUOTE]
