Don't put words in my mouth Jog
I think part of the problem is you see things through your own lens.....
As does TT.
Which, oft leave many frustrated too, because he doesn't really seem to post for dialogue, and exchange, as being equal, no, but what seems to me to be (an) affirming of his beliefs, discounting any other input with childish taunts, chastising, etc.
To me, it doesn't provide what I "want" to get out of it......
So, I shop elsewhere.
I am not singling him out in a punitive manner, just using him as a example I find readily apparent.
All of us of course like to be right, and affirmed, it is only natural....
But I like ice cream too, makes me feel good, and feeds a great need and comfort in my being, HOWEVER, if I over indulge in that "need", it quickly brings on negative consequences to my life.
I hope he can accept this as truth, and not personally. With you, your stuff is very deep, and chock full of stuff I can't quickly swallow.
I read lots of it, but its lengthy and I don't have the time to spend on it, not that I discount it, or don't appreciate it.
Me, personally, I am a slow old man, who has to look at something over, and over, again, to get its implication, etc....
To offer you any input, would be disingenuous on my part, even tho chances are good I will agree with much of what you say/post.
If I am to be graded, I want to be graded on the truth of my effort, not what might be an assumption, of me.
We see too much regurgitation of propaganda already, from folk who think it makes them appear savvy and intelligent......
It brings no value to my engaging of this forum, and I am sure it doesn't quench their need, either.
So bro, what I am saying is......
Please post your stuff, I like it, but withhold your expectations, please....
A seed needs to be watered, fed, and tended, before the bounty of the effort is realized, ok, sugarbutt
