Assumption on your part. I fully recognize other POVs. I don't have to argue in their favor though.


Observation, not assumption.

I think I have done this many times. I think different POV's can be applied to most situations in general. But fine tuning which one works best in light of the two personalities involved means one or the other will be preferable. I will argue for what I see as the best.


I've got no problem with that. But when the person(s) declines, repeatedly, to argue? This is to what I was referring. This is where my observation comes from that you don't seem to recognize another's POV or preference as valid or worthy of respect... because all you do is continue to push and push and push and prod. Which, of course, is well within your right. I personally see it as disrespectful.

Maybe that's where you and I differ. I don't see this is so much a discussion forum but more a debate forum. There are NO right ideas. There are some entrenched ideas which IMO, need some shaking up. That means challenging the status quo, thinking outside the box, putting forth new ideas. I think I have tried to do just that.


My use of the word discuss, for me, could be interchanged with debate... not necessarily verbal attack or warfare, however.

I'm glad you've taken it upon yourself to judge and decide that people have a certain type of idea you find needs to be shaken up. Yet if this is the case, then you just contradicted yourself when you said there are no right ideas.
