I've been on this forum and its predecessor for over a decade, and in that time, you are the only one who misconstrues what i say. This isn't the first time it's happened. It's happened several times before. I strive for clarity and economy of expression with everything I type. Whether I get there is another matter. And out of the dozens and dozens of regular posters we've had over that time, only you seem to constantly twist what i say into something it isn't. Why is that do you think ?
You still haven't answered my question PaulP.
You labeled me idiotic and Machiavellian, seemingly a contradiction, a smart-arse which is at least compatible with the Machievellian accusation, then through those clever economical posts implied that I was the bully without saying it. It's all there as a clear tone in your posts, clarity in the full context of the set which I am sure you are proud of!
Either it is true or it isn't, and I asked you to show cause for the bullying inference, which seems a reasonable request.
As for why I respond to your posts, perhaps because it's the right thing to do. Perhaps it's because you post about things that matter, which I am also invested in!
Perhaps I respond to other posts as well, and it's not just yourself who is the apparent victim!
