I am not retreating.
You do not "appear" to understand anything I am writing. And I certainly do not understand what you are writing. It makes no sense at all to me.

I saw your new thread. This topic must really bug you. I can't say I understand why. Why is it so important that people perceive your writing as "you"? Can you explain why that is such an issue for you- because it clearly is.

In real life you can never reliably know anyone based on words alone you can only reasonably rely on actions. The internet is a mental vibrator with words only.

E.g., have you ever known anyone on SI to change their position based on an interchange? Most just want their preconceived notions bolstered by cliqueing up. In real life these people would get freight-trained at the first zebra crossing.

Thank God I was here to intervene and help you.
