You do not seem to understand. If your objective at Feelies is simply to criticize me, I will ban you again because I like to have fun here, and reading your dreadful posts is not fun. I don't care what you think. How much clearer can I be?

You are trying to apply reason to the behavior of people being either emotionally repelled from each other, or drawn to each other (and this includes trying to do it to your own behavior- which is obviously emotionally driven by your likes and dislikes). You and Buschman are told to get a room by Redfish. Grainne and I are told to get a room by you, and ALL it really means is that you agree with Buschman and I agree with Grainne. You might even like Buschman because you agree with him, but I'm not going to speculate on that, because I don't know. I enjoy Grainne because we have a lot in common and I generally agree with her. Do I agree with EVERYTHING? No. But if I do disagree, I'm likely to do so more gently than I would with someone in whom I have absolutely zero interest. Sycophantic? Or the beginning of friendship? Well, I guess it all depends how you label things. If you were able to be the zealous seeker for truth you obviously think you are, you would notice that you get very strange when talking to some people, but are as sycophantic as the very best sycophant when talking to others. But I would never put it that way. I would say that when you talk to people who you have nothing in common with, and who disagree with you about your cherished beliefs, you are rude and dismissive, and when you talk to people with whom you agree, you are sweet Pea himself. I think most of us understand that phenomenon, and participate in it. We all like some people more than others, and some of our affection is based on shared principles. You, however, seem to see affinities between posters as some sort of travesty of justice, except when it crops up in your own behavior, of course...Now what's the word for that? Hmmm I know I saw it here recently. It begins with an "H".
