Only weird, because you don't understand me at all. Freon Right, because you insist on obfuscations and idiosyncratic word meanings. You want people to guess the “right question to ask” instead of communicating for clarity. Then you blame others for not understanding. I don't, Mercy. ONLY you think that. Most in here, regardless of their agreement with my views or not, have no issue communicating with me. Not you, though. Only you come from a place of assumed authority, and therefore only you have an issue. Get over yourself. You lack wisdom. Freon

Dictionaries. Plural. There are thousands of them. Yet you imply they all agree with each other. You argue against your own argument. Thank you. Freon They don’t differ in essence. Like…”petty” is generally defined the same way in each, but in contrast to whatever contrived meaning you are attempting to impose upon the word while simultaneously refusing to explain. Too many times I've caught YOU not being specific about terms, Mercy, where you implied something, instead of being specific. Yet when I do it, you are all over me about precise definitions. It's a tactic you use, when you are losing an argument. It's your calling card, you use it so often. Get over yourself, Mr. Precision. Freon

It’s possible people disengage with you because they’re not interested in your games.

You’re interested in people guessing what the “right question” is—the one you want to answer—so you can reveal yourself to be erudite, wise, and enlightened.

You are describing YOUR motivation, Mercy, not mine. You just can't imagine anybody behaving like I do, through any other lens but your own. It's yet another example of you assuming your view of things is authoritative. But you are clueless. Not quite as bad as Queshank, but close. Freon

Well, you've never said any such thing to me.
For which I send you my thanks.

How could I? We've disagreed in the past, but you've never taken the position that all your words are dogma. ONLY Mercy does that. Freon

Wow. You truly don't understand the conversation we're having. The right questions....about what motivates me. That was the context of the conversation, but like all the other far righties you claim not to be part of, context completely eludes you. I was saying that you have no clue my thought process, because you don't ask the right questions. And you thought that by listing me actually saying the words, 'you didn't ask the right question' to other people, you would be making a point? Sigh. That's obtuse. It's illogical. One might even call it silly. Freon

Claiming you don't do that because it would make you look silly and then ignoring evidence that you actually do that is...well, silly.

Claiming you don't do that because it would make you look silly and then ignoring evidence that you actually do that is...well, silly. Ahh, I see your frustration, but you have come to the incorrect conclusion. Asking the right questions is based PURELY on your motivation. There is no trick to it. Are you intent on knowing the truth? Or do you just want to project your inaccurate dogma? You ARE asking the right questions if all you want is the latter. I keep coming full circle with you, Mercy. You embrace your dogma so completely, it defines you so totally, that even the IDEA that you would try and learn outside of it is not an option for you. I can accept this for Stu, Lomelis, RWB, etc, because they are sheep, and will do what they are told by their handlers. They don't know better. But you? You are educated, and an educator. You speak for all of us who are, and yet you still behave exactly as they do. I expect more from you, but in the end, you really are just like them. I suppose that data point is worth knowing. That you can have educated people who use that education to reinforce their dogma, rather than exercise their open-mindedness and curiosity. Freon
