I'm not standing up for anybody - I'm trying to offer some constructive criticism to you, because you don't seem to be aware that your belligerent responses only invite further criticism, doubt and dismissal of your opinions. I think you have a lot of interesting things to share here and I've typically enjoyed talking with you in the past but I can't help notice that any time someone dares to disagree with or question you, you lose your cool. And frankly, I don't like the tone that brings to the forums.
I'm not saying that others aren't at fault. At the end of the day, though, you're responsible for your own actions before anyone else. I think you have the power to elicit a different type of reaction from people, if you choose to act on it.
Also, please do not threaten me. Even vague and veiled, that's uncalled for. Honestly I'm baffled as to why you would feel the need to do such a thing. I apologize if my posts strike you as antagonistic, but I've done nothing to harm you, and I replied only in good humor. I actually feel I've repeatedly tried to extend an olive branch in these types of situations for the sake having a constructive community here, but you seem more interested in perceived slights, and it's wearing on me.
