[QUOTE="Ulorian - Agent of Chaos, post: 9763592, member: 16668"] That's all sensible. What you're missing is that the way you make your points doesn't acknowledge anyone else's positions, which is effectively telling others I don't care what you think and your opinions don't matter. You're effectively attacking others when you post, but I don't think you realise it. If you're attacking someone, it's next to impossible to have a meaningful discussion with them, let alone have them not feel antipathy (how's that for an old school D&D word!) towards you. Here's what I see when you post: you provide your perspective, and you do it clearly, which is great. You sometimes lack respect for other opinions when you do so though. Lots of "kids these days/modern sensisbilities" types of snide add-ons. Lose that attitude. All this communicates is that you view any opinion other than your own as beneath notice. It also cuts you off from the wisdom of ideas other than your own and has the side effect of making your opinion worth less in the eyes of others. Not to mention the eyerolls and general irritation with this frankly antisocial behaviour... hence the multiple ignores. I will commend you on your reponses to the blowback I just mentioned though. You rarely let it get to you, and never respond angrily. You sometimes get irritated, but even then you respond with respect. Hats off. I very rarely (but occasionally do!) agree with your posts. But I always respect the way you handle reactions to your post. I wish I had that kind of patience. I do understand and sympathise with the positions you take, even if I rarely agree with them. I do wish you would stop shooting yourself in the foot though! [/QUOTE]
