And no, this one of all the others I think is absolutely an attack on your argument. It was a gross overstatement and I don't feel bad about calling it hysterical.That was within the same post and while I can understand this a bit more as a personal attack, I still find it as largely commenting the overstatement of things.No, I disagree. It comes off as a slippery slope because of your initially comments and continually pushing things further and further ("Why not this? Why not this?"). It is not just a whataboutism, but rather that it feels like you are continually pushing down a road to where it feeds into the idea that that you felt I was trying to modify the whole system, which fed into how that looked ("Why not this" --> "You're basically changing the whole system!". These are not direct quotes but trying to hit the tenor of what it seemed like you were talking about). My indignation was not a "sit-down, shut up and accept my rule changes" as much as frustration at constantly being questioned as to why this or that and feeling like my intentions were being misinterpreted. I am fully willing to talk about other ideas and concepts, but that did not feel like the argument.And at this point, I'm just not interested with reengaging on the subject, so I'll leave all talk of "flight" at that.</blockquote>
