I had a reason for my simple post above.
And those who read my posts probably understood what my point was...
If you don't... check my start date and post count to that of Tymeaus. Not that I am picking on you Tymeaus, I often say in my posts that I don't feel I need to respond to many conversations and my post count shows that. Not that I have nothing to say but more that I would add nothing to the conversation. It is amazing how many jump into a topic and add nothing more than "I agree" or post what would best be described as attacks on topics that have effectively died.
You, TJ, attacked Dr. Funk in the Attunement topic. Whether you think you did or not is irrelevant. You basically said the same thing that myself or others did already and wrote it in a tone that is smeared with disdain. I understand why Dr. F gets harsh with his words with you.
Edited for Clarity, Spewlling and soem Grammar... My typing is atrocious today...First Mikado, I have gone back and read the posts you are refering to, and if you actually look at them (there are 2 of them in the Attunement Thread) you will notice the EDIT placed before the actual text in the first post noting that I did not see the other posts prior to mine, and I added the edit so that it would not have to be read again... I did not remove it, as I was unsure if anyone had already perused the post... I hate Ninja Edits and removals... therefore I indicated to ignore it if you were not interested...
And second... there was no disdain involved at all.. I was citing references in the relevant points... as you said, much like others had done... As there is no tone on the internet, and no body language involved, I cannot be held responsible for someone else taking offense because they so choose... The only thing I will admit that I did was taunt him a bit because throughout the entire thread, he continued to change his arguments... which others had noticed and posted about as well... If you chose to interpret that as Disdain, well, then that is on you... But as I said before, no problems, If Doc. was offended, he could have come out and rationally and civilly said so, but he did not, he took it to the next level, and that is on him, not me.
I do not mind discourse or even argments, as long as they remain somewhat civil... when I am attacked, I tend to react poorly, and maybe that is a flaw on my part (and Incivility is in my book completely unacceptable, there is no need for it)... I have noticed that the Internet provides a "Forum" for those that want to make everything a personal affront, and many individuals do not provide the basics of civility because there are no reprecussions on the Internet... it is extremely impersonal... as a result, many people tend to become abusive and profane, for whatever reasons... who knows, maybe it makes them feel important or more powerful, I don't know... when That occurs, I will call someone on it, and make no apologies about doing so...
As for just thorwing in a quick agreement or two, there is nothing wrong with that, it shows support for a line of reasoning or topic... I do not apologize for that in the least... If it bothers you, don't let it... I always appreciate a quick word of agreement or support when I am posting (wherever I go), and I am sure that others do as well... If it offends you, then just ignore it and move on... it is not meant to be offensive...
Anyways, I am no way trying to provoke an argument with these statements, so everyone have a great evening...
Keep the Faith
