Sorry, Terry, but this weak denial does not change the tenor or
content of many of your posts. Perhaps this is a cultural
difference, but in the US we find condescending and patronizing
remarks about other people or their thoughts as well as outright
dismissal of their ideas to be INSULTING. You may choose not to see
it, but it is there.
I have no idea what you do for a living, but you come across as
someone who has been a teacher for so long that they believe
everything they know is true and are so ensconsed in their own
rhetoric that they cannot objectively listen to or evaluate ideas
that are contrary to their own.
Peace,
