Just listen to yourself, DMB. You sound like the whiner who makes everyone feel bad! You are constantly exagerrating the flaws of your enemy, while failing to identify any fault in yourself. Even if this were war, Sun Tzu knows wars are not won that way. You are not making realistic assessments of your opponent. Your opponent is not psychotic, can read, can think, and can write. They're just not doing it like you're doing it. How do you react?

I can hear myself just fine, thank you. But apparently my complaints are falling on deaf ears. 
Yes, the criticism is harsh but only because the level of badness is so very low. It's only proportional, and that's being generous about it. And yes, you can snip out all the substance of the criticism and make it look like nothing but series of rude little insults. But that's just one more level of bullshit. In each case, as anyone can go see for themselves, I presented evidence and reasons and explanations - and I used them to criticize specific claims. So far, no counter argument has been offered to any of it. Your reply is mere contradiction and pouting, which is childish, doesn't help one bit and addresses exactly none of the actual criticisms.Thank you very little.

Like Dan said, "this is a discussion group, not a zen garden. If you want to free yourself from words, learn to meditate. If you want to have an intelligent discussion, learn to read and write".

I do NOT understand how anyone could feel oppressed or put off by such a basic requirement. That is a bad attitude in the world in general and it's outrageously inappropriate in a place like this. How is this even debatable? It's so obvious that it should go without saying and yet I have to fight for it like it some controversial new idea. That's just nuts. Words are all we have here. If you can't or won't use them right, get a different hobby.
