Would to God!
Your problem is you won't surrender to anything. All you do is gainsay, then slap on the first rationalization you can cook up for it.
If what you're looking for is someone to massage your ego, and confirm how smart you think you already are, how about you find a nice support group more suited to that and stop wasting our time.
Failing that, how about actually reading the responses you get instead of associating them with the closest cliche you can think of, then firing off a response to your own straw man.
Clearly, your response to my comment about making distinction between wanting to be left alone, and what one will do when that tranquility is disrupted, indicates someone who is profoundly lacking in intellect, or suffering from an inferiority complex on par with a solitaire cheat, and in either case would argue against "the law of identity" if found on the wrong side of it.
I think you're just describing yourself while projecting your own behavior onto me.

I'll take that as your own New Year's resolution for yourself, and I wish you all the best in whatever number of steps they program.

Can you even imagine how helpful it would be if you followed your own advice?

So have we now, at long last, come to the end of your catalog of insults so we can get on with discussion?
Or is it that once your list of insults is exhausted, you've nothing left to offer?
