Bud you asked if I agreed with a long list of things, then wrote afterwards “No? Not surprised,” not only giving my answer but even giving your own snide response to it. So yes, incorrectly.

I’m happy to have a conversation with you but you’re assuming my thoughts and basing your arguments off of your assumptions rather than wait for me to answer.

I have read the books. I’m quite familiar with some of the stuff you’ve talked about here. You’ve only assumed I’m not and wrote so within the same comment.

So, here I am, definitively stating that I am interested in having a discussion that doesn’t have to resort to assuming the stance of the other person before they can even rebut.

Are you interested in that or not? Because if so, and you only have to say yes, I will respond to your original comment and we can go from there
