I think there is a difficulty in that there can be a topic of discussion. You want to say something about the topic and I want to say something about the topic.
That may well involve discussing some of the points that one of us has made on the particular topic. Especially if they are pretty good points.
If I keep talking about stuff that you say it is because I find it interesting and stimulating and it prompts me to thoughts of my own...
Yeah. I quite often do miss the point.
Sorry about that.
It isn't something that I try and do on purpose. I like to think that I am open to other peoples attempts to clarify..What I say is just my opinion.
As you noted.
I guess I tend to write in an 'authoratative' style because that is how I have been taught to write.
But I like to think that I am open to the idea that I am wrong, or have misunderstood, or whatever.If you could help me out there then I could learn something from you.
You are free to ignore me, you know.
If you don't like the way a conversation is going then stopping responding would be an effective way of getting me to drop it.I'm sorry you are feeling upset and frustrated.
But I'm not too sure what to do.
It is a little like last time...
The problem there was about our disagreement over small boards. But I'm not going to stop saying what I think about them just because someone gets upset with what I have to say. I would hope that if I got upset with what you had to say - that you wouldn't just drop the topic because I didn't like what you were saying.And that seems to be what is happening again...
I don't know what to say.
I do feel a bit like you are requesting me to ignore what you have to say on a topic... That other people (who agree with you) are allowed to comment on that and make use of it with respect to what they think. But if anyone disagrees... Well then, what?
They should just leave the whole topic alone???
I'm not sure what you want me to do.
