I don’t even recall telling you to switch up your style. Just that I find your style of posting annoying sometimes. I still acknowledge that you have the right to crack on and post however you like.

The implication was definitely that it should be changed and I believe the phrase "I hope he learns to..." was used, even. Can't be verified now as it looks like the thread is gone.

Regardless, and again I don't even mean this defensively as - just as Ammi says - everyone has their own style but to address the bit in bold... I don't want to sound like you Redway. I don't know why you'd assume other people would be inclined to use your posting style as a template for great reading. I don't particularly like the way your posts flow, and we've disagreed on some of your rigid thinking on a couple of topics, it just doesn't irk me enough to have "brought it up"... we obviously just have very different views on what's an enjoyable read and that's OK.

If I'm going to be totally blunt - I think I pissed you off a few months back by suggesting that Samaritans (while being in many ways great) has plenty of issues, and you feel defensive of that organisation and you've not quite let it go yet. Plus the whole debacle about "the immorality sharing with spouses".
