That is an example of why I don't like getting into these discussions. No matter what anyone says, it is always emotionally, prejudicially presumed to be something unsaid and unmeant.
no matte what anyone says? It kinds helps if you are arrogant stuffed shirt.

That is probably true.
But then, I always listen to women.



..but that doesn't stop me from correcting them.
You should see what I do with men.
If someone in a conversation believes they are in a position to "correct" everyone else, it's not a conversation. It's a lecture.

And listening to anyone with the belief that you are there to "correct" them is not listening.

Note that neither of you addressed what was said, merely the way it was said.

I assure you that I can be exceedingly gentle and kind (in some places well known for it).
But someone tried that a long time ago. Guess what happened to him.

I did respond to one point you made. I said that "equal" and "the same" were two different things.

But I see no point in getting into a long discussion when we are so unlikely to find any place of agreement. Particularly, as I said, if the format of the discussion would be that you are in the place of the "corrector" and I am in the place of the "correctee."

yea really. This is not the sort of thing we do around here. This board is not about showing off how subtlety we can put others down.
