"I do a fair amount of that."

Its just disappointing when you waste your efforts and abilities on style over substance.

I’m more than a bit surprised to read that from you.

It tends to appear that Mad Dawg is the only RC/Ortho I can reliably have a genuine dialogue with of any dependability at all.

God knows I’ve tried many times over the years with most of the rest of the RC’s. At 64 years old . . . I try to hit my head against brick walls far less than I used to.

The other RC’s on FR could go a great deal of the distance toward demonstrating a genuine interest in dialogue if they really wanted to. They NEVER HAVE—certainly not for more than a few posts or a few days—which ever came first, usually.

I’ve just not seen any significant evidence that RC’s on FR want genuine dialogue any more than Jihadi’s do.

RC’s have been trained from birth to

!!!!CONTROL!!!! !!!!CONTROL!!!! !!!!CONTROL!!!!

AND

!!!!DEMAND!!!! !!!!DEMAND!!!! !!!!DEMAND!!!!

Being on the other end of that is not Proddy’s favorite recreation regardless of how much deluded RC’s may think it is.

Perhaps most importantly, RC’s seem to have the DNA

—certainly the ORGANIZATIONAL RELIGIOUS DNA

that tolerates ONLY

NEAR
100% SUBMISSION

OR

NEAR
100% AGREEMENT.

There’s little to no room for dialogue in that.

On top of that, the critical differences tend to have no new material to share between the two camps about them.

On sum, I just can’t make a good case for bothering with even an attempt at dialogue with most RC’s on FR.
