One pattern I’ve noticed with some of your posts is that you’ll ask a series of questions that all follow from the same flawed premise. Like, you see there’s an issue somewhere, but instead of backing up and re-thinking your assumptions you’re trying to patch up the resulting non-sequiturs.
Don’t get me wrong—most of your questions concern things that are worth questioning, they just seem to slightly skim past the real crux.
I just don't want to show an agenda. I am a very lazy person. And just ask questions to start discussions but a good one is har.....Hate to ask can you go through my post and pick out of a good example how I skim? I don't mean that in any way to be argumentative.
You should hate to ask that, because that is something most people hate being asked.
Thanks for the reply..no sarcasm. Can you go thru like my post history and tear it a part. Not really understanding a flawed premise. I am not getting defensive just generally curious. My college English teachers always said I have my own "signature" never knew what that meant.
I have a suggestion.
what, through?
