I think I understand your issue now. I stated my opinion (made an argument) and then you stated your opposing opinion (made a counter argument) and this chain continued in a format called a debate. Basically, you want to be able to argue with me, but you think I shouldn't argue with you. Not really fair, is it? If you don't want an argument, then you have to stop making posts which can be replied to. Most people will assume you are trying to argue with them if you keep making arguments at them, and while you may not want these arguments to be interpreted as arguments, they fundamentally are arguments and you can't expect other people not to notice that.

For one of us rubbing people the wrong way in nested threads is not a recurring theme. I'm elated to be receiving advice from a pro. Thanks.

You are still displaying the problem behaviour despite having it clearly explained to you.

What? Roping someone into a conversation they didn't intend to have? You don't say.

I must say, you do a lot of talking for someone who doesn't intend to converse.
