I find it difficult to understand why anyone would waste their time even wanting to dialogue with others who they feel are filled with
"overbearing condescension and unsubtle self-glorification" and whose
"posted remarks are incompatible with (their) implied claims of righteousness".
Because I choose never to offend people, deliberately,
I am always more than willing to withdraw any "offensive" remarks, once I know what they are, and if there is a general consensus that such is the case--once they are pointed out to me.
Or, If there is general consensus that my presence is "offensive", I can always simply move on and dialogue with those who find my comments relatively okay. I am happily involved in other sites--I even do some moderating at Brainmeta. The Net is filled with such opportunities. I am easy
