If your point had been made clearly enough in the first place, why do you come back again and again to argue it?
I just think that it's unnecessary to call someone ignorant or immature because they don't conduct themselves by your standards. I don't think it's a "positive" thing to insult someone.ClintonHammond said:And perhaps EXPECTATIONS are the root issue here....
I know that I expect that everyone is going to be as thick, as dumb, as wrong about things as often as I am.... so when I communicate here, I endeavour to do it in the most direct manner I can.
Let me ask this.... Has there EVER been any question about what I might have MEANT in a post? What my point might have been?
All too often I see post after post after post between people having to explain themselves over and over and over because someone has misunderstood something they said....
Anyone ever seem to misunderstand my intentions? (For positive or negative)
*edit Crosspost*
"If you find my comments or contributions difficult to grasp, then that's your problem."
It becomes my responsibility to accept ownership of my own ignorance, and if I care to alleviate that ignorance to seek further clarification from you.... Seems cumbersome... But I think that's the nature of online communication....
ClintonHammond said:"why do you come back again and again"
This place exists for exactly that level of exchange....
Or are you asserting that only people who agree are allowed to post?
"I don't think it's a "positive" thing to insult someone."
But you criticize ME for not conducting myself to your standard....
Where did I call anyone (But myself) ignorant?
Who did I ever call immature, who wasn't?

You might wanna take a look at the rules concerning posting language in the "General Forum Rules" section... Kidding or not, this place is supposed to be rated PG 13....
On topic.... at least I had the courtesy to ASK you if you mind me shortening your name... and if you DO mind it, I won't do it....
"I just wish that conflict didn't have to arise"
Well, my grandfather was fond of saying, "You can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one piles up first"
Conflict is inevitable any time more than one person is involved.... The real question is how to RESOLVE those conflicts.... I think that this thread so far has mostly been an example of how people can discuss and maybe even resolve those conflicts in a mature manner....
"I think if someone misinterprets someone else"
You never did answer me.... Has there ever been a situation where my intent in a post was unclear??? LOL
