andy-hughes, //But if you want to tell me - rough quote "You don't understand it, and I don't think you ever will ..." then that is not fine because that is patronising me by making the assumption that I am too stupid to grasp something that you understand, and therefore I am a lesser person than you//
Great example! Thank you. Had you actually thought about that rather than jumping immediately to your erroneous conclusions you would realise that the reason I don’t think you will ever understand is because time and again I’ve given you easily verifiable examples which you continue to ignore, preferring instead to offer counter-arguments that have no basis whatsoever in reality. You refuse to listen to people who do actually know more and that is why I think you will never understand. Therefore my point stands. Regardless of topic, your perception that people are talking down to you, etc., etc., is amply demonstrated by the regularity with which you accuse others of patronising you and talking down to you. You say you think anyone would feel the same. They wouldn’t and they don’t. Your attitude is at fault.
