>>You often point out how my observations or opinions are deficient, invalid, or false, or that one incorrect item among dozens of correct ones in a list that I post invalidates my meaning or intent. Frankly, your approach toward me is condescending. I think I've proven that I can see when I'm wrong, so all you have to do is give me the correct information. You don't have to make a comment about me.<< MM - I'm sorry if that comment seemed like a personal slam. I could have phrased it differently. My intention was to convey that it's difficult to tell what a person is thinking just by looking at them. Yes, sometimes emotions are fairly easy to read, but specific thoughts aren't. So when you say that Hillary was thinking, "Oh, now he's going to be really hard to beat" while listening to Bush's speech, I don't believe you can know that. I really do often take issue with your observations and opinions. I'd quibble with the idea that I take one incorrect item out of dozens and invalidate your entire point (I wasn't the one who said anything about Sirhan Sirhan being a Christian.), but I will admit that I disagree with much of what you say, and that I make a concerted effort to prove you wrong. I can also see how I would come off as being condescending, and for that, I apologize. When I disagree with your posts, it's about what you are saying, and not about you. I'll try to make that clear with the tone I adopt. I really don't mean to pick on you. I think you're a good guy. - Allen
