Which is precisely why I qualified it.
This is another thing that wastes a lot of my (and others') time. You
deleted the very thing you are writing about -- your "qualification" of
"it." But what is "it" -- I'd have to look it up to find out. I don't
remember any qualification. I'm not going to look it up. So it's over.
I don't know what you were talking about, you concealed it from me. If
you wanted for me to get something from that line above, you failed.
On the level you're commenting on, everyone is biased in that each of
our personal beliefs color our outlook and comments. This I agree on.
What I accuse you of is of actually applying your bias in such a way
that when someone doesn't agree with you, they are "mentally retarded"
or dysfunctional in some way.
I probably said that once in the past 9 years on this list. You'd have to
be saying some really stupid things to get that out of me. It probably
meant that you (or whoever) were writing without reading the messages from
me that you were responding to.
And your statement that it's not "worth [your] effort" to clarify such a
statement, while still deigning to reply, is exactly why I perceive you
as arrogant and closed-minded.
Sorry, but I just thought that it was more polite to reply, pointing out
that I didn't understand the question, than to ignore her. I still think
so. By the way, I think that her long-winded wise-assed response with
dictionary definitions was intentionally rude and a waste of time. Does
no one else think so? I guess it's a lot easier to pick on me because you
know that I can take it and no one will defend me.
I took the time to find the threads, as far as I'm concerned, you could
at least thumb through them. Some of them I remember the conversations
fairly clearly, some I don't. You ask for examples, I provided some, you
call them irrelevant...yet another "bogus debate tactic" that I've
personally accused you of at least twice before.
I read one and responded to it. If you want to discuss it, you should
pick something like this and tell me what was wrong with what I wrote:
http://mlug.missouri.edu/list-archives/discussion/2006-03/msg00245.php3
Is there something wrong with what I wrote there?
As to why you waste your time on annoyances like myself, I'll leave that
for you to answer for yourself. As for myself, I prefer to debate with
people I disagree with as trying to argue with people your beliefs align
with tends to be pretty unproductive.
Right. I want to learn things.
Mike
