You’re both focusing on the wrong stuff to further the discussion... You both are muddling the topic. Focus. Stick to what is important.
If it makes you feel any better, I recognize your point, which at least two others here have also suggested. I apologize once again, and will strive to stick to the evidence and logic related to the thread, and not get sidetracked into arguing over failures to communicate. In fact that apology goes double for your having to slog through what was painful enough for me to read/live through the first time. I realize if I hadn't wrote it, you wouldn't've had to read it.
No I won't be reading across several threads. Not so much disinterest as lack of time
I had left the summary he made in the first AIT thread alone because I figured most people did not care, or would come to a similar conclusion that I had (and which you pretty much just did).
He is now discussing other threads. I really don't want to pursue this any further, but I have my own impression of what is going on, and do not like seeing my name slandered. That is especially true when the person appears (to me) to be constructing an argument that either admins will agree that I am a bad poster, or they believe (or would believe) I am but don't have the time or care to prove it which in itself is due to my "tactics". In other words no matter what happens or is said, it is proof of my villainy, and perhaps tantamount to an official acknoweldgement of such.
As you noted above regarding the AIT thread in question my original post was to RAZD, and not to him. This is true for a number of recent threads following that one (including the latest AIT thread which Quetzal had complained about). In each case, even where I addressed types of arguments I felt he had used, I addressed the verbiage of the argument and did not tie it to his name. In that way if the position I addressed would be a "distortion" of his position, he would have no reason to complain because I wasn't addressing or claiming to address him... just the argument.
Thus if this is going to be about conduct in other threads then I have something to say because I KNOW I've been going out of my way to avoid conflict. I can document my "case" clearly if need be. But I'd rather not get into it, especially because I don't have the time or interest. I've let it go, and I want to move on.
I realize you have said you will not follow this to other threads, but I am concerned that complaints are going to continue, and conclusions drawn... particularly if I don't answer repeated accusations.
If my efforts to stick to topic are not enough, what more does he want? Why isn't avoiding events which could lead to future problems not enough?
Thank you.
