You opted not to point out, in your previous post what they meant, so I made that decision regarding that issue, yes.
What is 'they', exactly, which I, supposedly, did not point out what 'they' meant?
And this is one of the consequences of your not explaining directly, rather than simply labeling something as false. If you do that directly, then we don't have to go back and find all the references, which you have a tendency to remember less well than other posters here. Which means that I or other interlocutors must produce more text - which can also then be questioned by you. I find this very inefficient and also not collaborative. But it is, of course, your culture of discussing and obviously I can choose to engage with it or not, so it isn't really problematic. But that's why I am choosing not to go into your culture of communication yet again. I've have dropped by original request and interest in that line.

I pointed out how the quotes supported what I said, you have just not comprehend this here, again.
No, you did not.
See, how 'this one', continually, does not 'comprehend' things, but, to it, it is not it not comprehending.
And this is rude and continues to not explain or justify.

As is your habit, you simply stated that the other person was wrong.
Well if they are wrong, then they are wrong. I am allowed to point out and state this, correct.
I'll take that as a question. Of course, you are allowed to. What an odd question. If I think you are actually doing something that is not allowed, I'll let you know. Or, perhaps the moderators, though I can't imagine what that would be.
And, if absolutely any one wants the actual proof of how and why they are wrong, when I just simply state that they are wrong, then all of you here all already know what to do, right?
1) I know how you prefer to have communication go, your taste there, yes. 2) I haven't found proof very often at the end of those dialogues. Your sense of what proof is is confused. Any text I create in the process of trying to arrive at the promised proof generally becomes the focus of the conversation. So, as said, I won't be joining your personal conversation culture any more. This was never noticed on your part, that I and others have adapted, for periods of time, to your culture of conversation, and often got insults, intended or not, for our trouble.

It's part of the Age culture of communication, adding extra steps to discussions.
And, one could just easily, and as simply, state that it is a part of "iwannaplato's" 'culture of communication', to lead down an unrecoverable hole.
To the first part, yes, it relates to my culture of communication. However, I do share this with vastly more people than your culture is shared. Now if this was not about communication, this larger amount of people sharing that culture would mean little. However given that you have stated that you would like to improve your communication and this entails improving it with the people who have a different culture, then your intransigence on these issues is odd.
In addition, the unrecoverable hole is an excellent description of most of the discussions you have had here and one of the reasons so few engage with you much. They are less curious and interested than I am, and that curiosity and interest offset, to some degree your idiosyncracies.
As is its habit, and which it is doing, once again, right here now, in this thread, as well.

I am sure it works for you, given your values and goals,
Okay.
But, are you as sure that it words for you, also?
No, yours does not work for me very well. Perhaps you meant 'Are you sure that yours works for you.' Yes, though it can always improve.

but....nah, at a certain point, given that you do not even notice when people try to meet your values around how to carry out a conversation, nor try to meet their way of communicating with as much flexibility, it's not worth it. I would guess you don't realize how rude you are being, but that changes the experience very little for others.
Here is another prime example of how absolutely every thing is relative to 'the observer'.
And, how 'an observer' sees and views things is, solely, dependent upon their pre-existing beliefs and presumptions.
What 'this one' 'sees' is, obviously, not what is necessarily true at all, nor even necessarily remotely what is a bit true at all.
If fact, what the actual Truth is, exactly, is the exact opposite of what "iwannaplato" is 'seeing', and 'believing', here.
The day you understand that this applies to you also and that you have beliefs, that day, I think is a day when we might actually be able to get somewhere together in a discussion.
So, from here on out, I will adjust even less to your idiosyncracies.
