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.
