how much you sound like Larry here recently...
Really. Read your posts without looking at
them as being from you. You'll confuse
yourself as to who, exactly, posted them...
You did not *used* to post like that...
Perhaps much of that impression is caused by whether you agree or
disagree
with what being said at the moment.
Dwight, I am not like that. I can totally dislike someone and totally agree
with what they are saying. The *reason* I don't like Larry--or people like
him--isn't because of their opinion. It is because of their arrogance and
dictatorial style of impression that everyone must think just like them. It
is also that, once again, the *impression* is given that anyone who thinks
differently than they are somehow of less stature than they.
Whether I agree or disagree with someone has no bearing on how I accept
their message. For instance, someone could be exactly of the thought of
Larry and preach the thought and I am all for engagement on an intellectual
level. But, when someone begins preaching their thoughts while at the same
time acting as though they are superior because of them--all I want to is
reach out and bitch slap 'em. I can get just as lofty as anyone else on an
intellectual level and be very articulate about how I communicate. I can
also get down at the level of someone such as Larry if I need to--or just
plain want to.
I agree with Larry on some things, and
don't on others. I agree with you on some things, and don't on others.
When
anybody agrees with another, their comments are going to, of course, sound
similar. When I agree with you, Larry accuses me of sounding like you.
You're now accusing me of sounding like Larry. Unless I agree with
everything each has to say, I can't possibly satisfy both of you.

Nope, you are incorrect. I don't care whether you agree with me or not. It
is when you start telling me things that depict the nature of a personality
*because* of something I am saying that you'll see me pushing back in like
manner.
