I'm sure you'd probably rather I stayed the heck out of your thread, but, if you really are going somewhere, I really would like to explain why I have sometimes had difficulty in threads to which we have both posted.
i often put a great deal of effort into a thread or a comment to a thread. I try to make things educational, if at all possible. Marshaling links, pasting quotes, grabbing photos, and creating an informative contribution. I absolutely love it! I love organizing and writing. It might take 10-15 minutes to complete a comment on a thread, but I try to make it something that will teach and add. My attitude, and if I need an attitude adjustment, I need to know, goes like this: when I put that kind of effort in, I have every right to expect that if there are objections to what I wrote, significant disagreements, then I, and the forum, deserve more then "everything I read says that's unreliable" in so many words.
And leave it at that. Am I really the only one who can understand that after all that work, 5 seconds worth of rebuttal without any evidence presented, is bound to go up my butt sideways? As I said in the thread in question, why undermine everything somebody, in this case me, just put into a comment, and with no real good reason? Maybe I am way off base, but I think when I put that kind of effort into making a point, I deserve more then what really seems to just amount to a wave of the hand dismissal as the counterpoint from another member. It really just leaves me saying "well, it's crazy to post to this forum, I'm wasting my time". It just seems like every time I make a long, involved thread, there you are at the ready with more or less " nah, not so" as a reply, and if there is any reasoning provided, it often strikes me as contrived in part. But that's my interpretation. You've stated in the past that you think my posts are too long. Probably, but I've described above why they are. And nobody should ever approach a discussion in a thread with the attitude that somehow the last word must be had at any or all costs. I make mistakes every day of my life. If I make mistakes with relevant information, correct me with relevant and valid counterpoints. "everything I read says that's unreliable" just makes me see red, since, after all my effort, it's your opinion, but it actually says nothing. And it's happened several times that you've have gotten under my skin in just that way and I've reacted as a result.
I'm not the only one over the years, either. Do you think I enjoy coming across the way I do at times? It's embarrassing, I've made Internet manners an area of study; you would never, ever know it at times. Anyway, if that thread was the last straw, personally I don't see why we can't just stay out of one another's hair. How hard can that be...

I always appreciate when people put the time and effort into a post and it makes me pause and think. I can agree I can disagree and give facts to why I disagree or I end up learning something new. What I will not do is make it personal. I might argue the subject but I will not disrespect you on a key board. I do not have a problem when I am wrong either.
