Quote:
And in my case I will keep pressuring, resisting, debating, etc. to make you prove your point of which I know you are wrong. And I know very well that this is frustrating for someone trying to, in my mind, bully their way. And typically they will just keep pushing even when their lack of knowledge is exposed because they know no other way. TO admit a mistake is defeat in their book so on that level I can sympathize with the agony they must feel, but do I need to back down from being right just to appease their weakness?


How dare you throw my own words back in my face!!! ;\) and you are interesting because in contrast to Cobra you do remember exactly what was written and do not seem to fill in details as much - much more dangerous in my book! For me, I think I remember details and then do the research to double check myself so I can make sure my "assumptions" are right. And I HATE it when I find out I am wrong but it happens more than I like! As the case where Burgbud pointed out that my use of the word "shocked" was what opened the door to you attributing the emotion "aghast" to me. How devastating to find out I was to blame for the whole misunderstanding. That is why I really do try to use the correct words but I cannot be right all the time \:\)

Anyway... I do not think the above quote is applicable here because I do not feel like Cobra is bullying me or trying to control me. I THOUGHT that we were having a perfectly reasonable, though touchy and passionate, discussion about some ideas. While I do believe he has tried to bait me a little with some tweaks (like someone else has done on occasion), overall I think he has just treated me like anyone, man or woman, with whom he would be having a disagreement. His style is a bit aggressive but again I have not felt that he was bullying me.

I appreciate Corri's remarks but, I may be wrong, I thought Cobra and I were understanding that this was a discussion about the topics at hand more than personal attacks or anything.
