Jay, I don't think making mockery outta the whole scenerio will solve any problem. I came to stay and that's the points here . Well not to worry, I love one fact about you -- that you like keeping things real, just the way it is -- so when you came in new to the forum ,some people looked at you in disdain? 😹 wonderful... Who knew that you'll become an old-guru one day? With almost 8 thousand merits and a healthy reputation? You see....
I try to NOT let any posts on the interwebs cause me to become upset, but surely, to the extent that any of us is real (humans, or at least sentient beings), we have emotions, so sometimes each of us might be bothered about something that someone said on the internet.
When someone posts as much as me, s/he does not necessarily gain friends, merely from the quantity of posts.
To the extent that you care, you can go back to some of my earlier posts, and there were times in which several members would proclaim that I should not post anymore because "no one likes you here." Largely those kinds of posts did not bother me, and sometimes it would be fun to respond, and sometimes for sure any of us might want to post to make it appear that we are mad, and we are not really mad, but instead we are posting a negotiation position (maybe even laughing in the background (without showing it) about how ridiculous go the direction of some conversations).
Sometimes there are needs to be stubborn and other times there are needs to be humble or admit being wrong.. so if we have a lot of posts, we know that sometimes we do not get things right.. but then we can also sometimes say, "I used to think this, but now, my thinking has changed. I think more like this.. [and then explain to the extent helpful]", and it could be a total reversal or it could be a modified version of the original with a few modest changes that can be described, to the extent anyone cares.
