You willfully misunderstand. It is your behavior I have a problem with, not your facts. What happens on that thread you came from is what is troublesome. Troublesome thing to follow people around who do you no harm and do not follow you. Troublesome thing to make a sport of people you do not know, and who make no trouble for you. No matter how good your facts, and I'm more than happy to say your facts are just fine, they do not make up for bad manners and rudeness. Troublesome thing bad manners and rudeness. "So sorry to bother you with facts. Troublesome things, they are." Why does it matter that I notice what your motives are? Because motives matter. Because ill will is not something that is conducive to discussion. It's not paranoid to notice when a thread discusses me (right before one of the members zooms over to "discuss" something with me)- but I understand why you would want to say that. I'm sure you realize it's rude. Name calling won't make what happens on that thread you came from go away. It's obvious what you do there. What I can't quite figure out is why you think anyone would believe your motives are pure after coming from that thread. I mean, do YOU really believe you came here without ill will and a desire to scrap and do a high five with your buddies after? Do you really believe it's facts you care about? I certainly don't believe that. And I'm not advocating the government take over of the food system either. But as you say- facts can be troublesome.
