If that's not what you were saying, what were you saying when you commented on;

- Not liking the style of my posts
- Thinking my posts are "too formal"
- Too academic
- Argue both sides too often
- Like a courtroom
- Thinking my posts "don't take a clear stance"
- Hoping I "learn that it doesn't have to be that way"
- Pointing out that "you manage to do it"
- (there was more but that's plenty)


If you weren't suggesting that 1) there's something wrong with it and also that 2) your way of doing things is inherently better...

...

What were you doing/saying?

I'm happy to wait for a decent answer; one that does in fact answer, and isn't just "Not that / no I wasn't!"

Until you can find a direct quote of me saying “I wish QB would post exactly like me and isn’t entitled to his own posting style, no-matter how much it irritates me”, you’re chatting air. Total air. This whole thread is a perfect example of you being annoying in the way I’m talking about and I keep saying it. But you do you. Let’s just leave it there.

Kids (the hyperactive, noisy ones) eating in pubs irritates me, likewise, but I’m not saying it’s right or wrong inherently. Waiting in long queues is annoying but it’s just part of life and the right thing to do. Polarising my opinion in terms of “Redway thinks this is either right or wrong” is just another example of what I’m talking about. An opinion can’t just be an opinion to you. There’s always gotta be a for-or-against, a question of absolute truth or “right” or not. That was not what I was saying. You can know the value or necessity of something or someone and still find it/them annoying personally. Do you know that?
