[MD] Why are things called patterns?

This why there is such a problem communicating with you - you are 
incapable of agreeing with anyone else's point of view unless it happens 
to be your own. This is also part of your problem. My stating as such is 
not negative it is realistic.

Preferring or pretending to see agreement where none exists is not only 
negative it is intellectually dishonest. That is not in the spirit of 
the MoQ.

A lack of response to a question or statement is not a confirmation of 
its validity - it is a lack of response to a question or statement.

and yet now you change your tack and say that it does when you said 
previously that it didn't! Please make up your mind.

If someone says nothing to you when you state your point of view you are 
not entitled to take that as agreement in any sort of rational or 
intelligent conversation.

If you want to present your point of view on this forum then do so, I 
have not tried to stop you, however if you want to state that other 
members of this forum agree with your point of view then please present 
some sort of evidence. If you have no evidence to show this then you 
cannot claim that you do because you 'prefer' to do so.

I am also trying to remain civil in the face of your increasingly 
irrational and bizarre statements and your (poorly) veiled insults.
