Others consider you something different
And I am supposed to care I guess you think?
I think I've only blocked two people in my whole time online since the 1990's but maybe I should add to that list too.
What's really funny though is these are the people who think they should have control over what other people say to the max. Maybe Poppy Corny would rather I email him/her all my posts so that he can approve them all before I post them. He obviously does not agree with free speech and would rather censure that.
I'll tell you what a reasonable person would do.
For one, they are not obligated to read any posts. Finally, maybe he realized that, maybe.
Second, a reasonable person would PM the person and explain their position in full and allow a back and forth dialog in order to understand each others point of view. An intelligent person will always state their position and WHY they maintain that position so that they can open themselves up to contradictions and see if there is a possibility that they are wrong. It's not that they have to accept being wrong, just being open to that possibility. Without that kind of dialog that tells you that they are afraid to do that because they are afraid to be found wrong about something, even a little thing, and that means that their learning process will always be limited.
Before I say anything I usually have a way to back it up with some other sources, but you do not have to take my word for it. Look up these ideas on the web and see what the experts say about conversation.
I see you also had a subtle, negative comment in this thread attacking my character. Why would you even feel the need to do that? Even if I was dead wrong, so what? You going to die because of that or something?
I don't know about you but I was getting tired of putting up with Poppy Corny's delicate sensibility anyway (ha ha). In this thread he/she was sure I was upset and arguing, and even after I told him I was not arguing, he/she still insisted on saying I was again. That's unreasonable and really not very bright. So you see he/she did not JUST start ignoring me, if that's what he/she did now, he/she was ignoring me all along.
If you have something you don't like just let me know via PM. I try to stay friendly with all members on all web sites and am open to discussion on almost any topic, but something like what i have now seen in this thread should really be discussed in PM's.
I would say if you want to discuss this further use PM's not a thread with a given topic. It's disruptive.
Thanks for the reply.
