You can't egg me on in that way. I don't feel that I need to prove
anything to you. I don't think that you approach many of these
discussions with a sincere desire to reach understanding and to seek
truth. It just sounds like you're itchin' for a fight. When you say
that I don't express my thoughts clearly enough, you may very well be
right. (I do the best I can.) However, I suspect that a key impediment
to your understanding is that you read posts looking for opportunities
to comment rather than to understand or to learn. Most of the time I
feel like you are performing for an audience rather than conversing
with me. I'm glad to learn from you and everyone else in this group
when I can, but I've lost hope that you are a part of this discussion
for the same reason, so I see no reason to entertain your disingenuous
invitations to enlighten you. As far as I can tell, you see
enlightening others as your department.
