And yet, ironically, here you are claiming to be able to read his mind!
However, you miss the point. In a discussion, participants may comment upon any point raised, by any participant, including speculating (implicitly or explicitly) on what other participants intended, or developing a more detailed response given by any participant. This is readily accepted by the adults in that discussion. One leans to the view that someone ignoring these accepted "rules of engagement" is either not an adult, or is being discourteous.
No, you miss the point, but here's a short clear up.
I reserve the right to only respond to people who speak for themselves. It's impolite, it's rude, and the man can easily agree with and yet stand on his own feet and there is no need to assert what they "think" other people are thinking. I have no problem replying to a person's requests if they are reasonable.
There are a host of posts I didn't respond to, and I forfeited doing so here simply because the person was leaning on others rather than standing on his own feet. Why not make the point his own?
I have signed no "rules of engagement" and I've been in forums for nearly 20 years. I'm not a forum junky, I refuse to bow to stereotypes, I don't care for trolling, rude demands, and I especially despise having to address a situation that seems clearly silly and has nothing to do with the OP. I'm not the subject matter of this thread.
There will be no responses to those demands made, the trolling I will not acknowledge, and if anyone is offended because I didn't respond, I guess they will have to learn to cope.
I hope people don't think it is ok to suggest they can speak on my behalf for example, because it isn't. They don't know what I think, and I believe moderation would be needed if they start telling everyone I "said things" that I did not say or stating my beliefs for me without my request.
The man didn't say, what he was asserted as saying. If he had made mention of the request and said "but I quite do feel that way, and would like to hear the rebuttal," well I would have responded.
As it stands, if I have done something against the forum policy (and I don't think I have...), then I am well within reasonable and I will continue to reserve the right to speak to people who seem to be respectful.
I despise a good deal of what Bradskii has said, but he is more respectful and professional in his response than others and certainly hasn't trolled me.
But this... this that I'm feeling a need to reply to right now, this is trolling. I already told another person I don't take kindly to it.
If people want me to listen to them, and respond, they can be polite, speak for themselves, and refrain from trolling.
This will be the last of my responses to you. If you have complaints, you can mention me to the community, but I will not listen to it. I'm not required to speak to anyone, I live in a free country and am only slave to Christ Jesus.
Like I told the last guy who trolled me, I wish you well on your journey sir.
