Oh well if you want fiction there are plenty of other threads you can read.
I was hoping to get Firm involved but from his last post I expect that he does not know as much as he thinks he knows and he wont be back at least not with something I can dig my teeth into.
Unlike most out here I thrive on complicated shit.
R0,
If you lose your audience, all of your work is for naught.
Too often, I read some pretty complex stuff, where the basic principles are lost in the lawyerly argument about the placement of periods and the definition of "is".
There is a place for that, sometimes, but I'm not really interested - in this place, at this time - in arguing over them all that much.
I sometimes use the forums to explore ideas. Sometimes the responses help me to think, and clarify my thoughts. Sometimes they are just entertainment. Sometimes they are neither.
I have also found that it is easier to get people to eat an "elephant" one bite at a time, when attempting to bring others over to my point of view. And sometimes, my point of view is changed in the gestalt, when someone manages to change my thoughts on a single, simple point.
I guess what I am saying that your tactics and techniques seem to be pretty ineffective, even when you have a good point, and you spend way too much time arguing over the number of angels dancing on the head of a pin, and that this forum is likely better suited - most of the time - for a different method of convincing people that your views have any merit.
Firm
