Naomi - // Hence you don’t understand the people who do – or why they do it – and yet you insist on pontificating – and as always when you’re asked a simple, pertinent, question that you are unable to answer, you resort in your time-honoured fashion to the accusations of rudeness that you carry with you from thread to thread. Like Fiction-Factory, this is a subject upon which (by your own admission) you are unqualified to debate so perhaps you should consider taking a leaf out of his book. As you say, there is a very simple solution. //
There is a simple solution – but it’s never going to be the one you want.
Your ‘simple solution’ is that people like me, whom you judge uneducated or intelligent enough to post on a thread, stay away and let you and others tell us all what you think you know, and we don’t.
We have had this discussion before, and for someone with your advertised intelligence, you have a short memory.
I have advised you previously that direct experience of anything does not prevent me from possessing and expressing an opinion on it. That is how information is exchanged. If everyone waited until a thread discussed something of which they have direct knowledge, the site would vanish up its own fundament in a matter of days as people tried to outdo each other with the superiority of their knowledge.
Fortunately, people who behave like that – as you do, are limited to yourself and a few others who like to parade your ‘knowledge’ like it some sort of unique gift – which clearly it is not.
So, to remind you again, I will post my opinion on every single post on every single thread I see fit, and I shall ignore your condescension about you imagine I do or do not know.
And if you continue to be rude about what I post, I will report you each time you do it.
Hopefully that clears up any misunderstanding about the value I place on your opinion and desire to lecture, and my intention in reaction to your personal rudeness when you don’t like the answers you are given.
I hope that solution is simple enough for you – please don’t bother to comment either way, I’m not likely to muster the interest to respond.
