It seems to me you post to me as though innocent, but always stick the knife in and twist a bit.
Just take a hard look at your post below. Do you think telling a poster that their posts are over stated, redundant and over explained is a perfectly innocent thing to do?
That is an opinion you hold which could be seen as rude!
You act like everyone here already knows everything I post which is silly. As mentioned, you say my posts are over stated, redundant, and over explained as everyone here gets it. That is a silly idea.
What is it you think they get so clearly?
Besides what if they are, why would you care?
It is clear my posts irritate you for reasons that mystify me.
I read the posts to and there is a lot of disagreement, which is normal as the world is complex. Honest debate is healthy for people, society and democracy and the idea none of what I post needs more discussion as everyone knows it all is also silly.
And you intimate I am slipping intellectually because I am old and then compare me to you. I say speak for yourself, I am not ready to concede that.

koan-
You think it is a moot point to explain why one believes what they do?
in most cases i would answer NO... but when it's obvious, overstated, redundant
and re-explained to those who are already aware of your motives for your beliefs
(as in THIS case)... my answer is YES. especially when they hold the SAME beliefs
you do. that actually shows signs of forgetfulness or inattention to whom you're talking
rather than thoroughness, or helpfulness towards another's clear understanding.
i'm not disrespecting age related mental decline. i'll be one of the first to raise
my hand when asked if my mind and my memory is less sharp than it was ten
years ago or even one year ago. if you see signs of this in my posts, please
ask for clarification - we're all aging here - perfect communication is more
difficult as we age and i'm always happy to try to improve mine.
i'm not lecturing you on what to post... nor am i debating you on what you believe.
i'm merely asking for clarification in order to understand you better. from my honest
perspective, i'm looking for ways that you and i can work together toward our common
goals. we have many. from most of your replies to me it seems you see me as an enemy
with a hidden agenda when i question you. i almost always feel you are seeking an apology
from me for questioning you. am i wrong about that feeling? i sincerely hope so.
i apologize... again... but i'll always have questions.
here's a simple one that most concerns me NOW...
do you forgive me?
