Moved from your new post because i didn't want to derail it.

I appreciate your post. While I doubt you will appreciate mine, I apologize for not making clear that i didn't mean to imply nefarious intent on your part. I find myself committing acts of propaganda regularly; using rhetoric, especially as an authority to guide belief. (Regardless of the not really all that big extent of any of my domains of influence.)

I wanted to point it out, because we all do it so naturally. I admit it also rubbed me the wrong way, because I personally wanted to dig in to it, and your statement of absolute made me feel like you wanted to close the door. Nevertheless, I really should have been more diplomatic. I don't expect you to like me, but I hope you can appreciate I recognize I should have been less abrupt.
