Just make your post and get out, Gamecock. Don't mess with the posting procedure. It’s very important not to embellish on your post. No extraneous comments. No questions. No compliments. Quix demands perfection from himself, from his thread. How can he tolerate any less from the posters?
I don't know that I demand perfection. I may earnestly endeavor to relate hereon as I'd prefer to be related to AS MUCH AS LIES WITHIN me in KJV terms.
I even prefer to relate in loving tolerance and avoid insult etc.
ROUTINELY the other side gets so obnoxiously, smugly, self-righteously stubborn and relentlessly destructive to the discussion, I 'lose it' vis a vis my preferences and values. I'm not proud of that and am sorry and repentant for that. But I'm not yet purified through sufficient refiner's fires that it's a 00.000000000000000% problem.
I think it's all the more exasperating because there appears to be no solution. Ignoring them doesn't work. They are relentless regardless of how much one ignores them and regardless of how long one ignores them. They are persistently scanning for any opportunity to come back to the thread and be maximally destructive so that no one with an opposing view has sufficient courage or bother to deal with them.
They probably smugly notch their Bibles for such 'successes' for 'the faith.' Gag me with a very big spoon.
I'm sick of it--fed up with it. Furious about it. May they reap many ocean tankers full of what they have dished out.
May all the threads they inintiate bite the dust early with only very uncomfortable mirrors their only consolation.
Sigh.
