I didn’t say it was the “fault” of the internet; I said it was the “nature” of the internet. If you cannot, or are unwilling to, properly elucidate what you’re trying to say, that’s your own fault – personally. It is the “nature” of the internet to run into folks who can’t properly elucidate. Personally, I may have plenty of faults, but that is not one of them. I mean what I say, I say what I mean, and I’m relatively clear about it – to a fault.[/quote]

It seems like something has gotten under you skin beside my succinctness.I don’t want to make assumption though. I apologize for retracting the bimbo fetish comment.[/quote]

Russell, this has nothing to do with “succinctness.” (You are a master of presenting Straw Man arguments.) It has to do with the meaning of your words.

First you say something – such as the “bimbo fetish” or “bankers are not evolved” comments – and then when I point out their absurdity, instead of defending your position or acknowledging you were wrong, you resort to saying, in effect, “Uh, oh… right, I was only joking.”

In and of itself, this is fine – this is the internet, after all. But can you not see that this type of behavior renders it difficult to have an intelligent discussion?

It wasn’t that I was right or wrong, I didn’t want to be bothered to expalin myself. I just don’t feel like this is the place or that you are the person to try to be fully sincere with on this topic. I am surprised that you care.

I care exactly to the extent that I bother posting, although I don’t care “deeply” (and I doubt anyone here does – nor should they). Obviously you care to some degree yourself or you wouldn’t bother posting at all. In fact, you’ve bothered to attempt to explain yourself at great length in some instances… until confronted with uncomfortable inconsistencies. And it’s obviously your prerogative to avoid – or be not be “bothered” – addressing them. So be it.
