Well, to be honest I don't see it that way. I found your responses to comments that I made to be frustrating and obtuse, although in almost all cases where I offered, quite politely I believe, detailed questions of your analysis, you simply ignored those comments. Moreover, when I went out of the way to emphasize or appreciate your work as part of my questions, or criticisms, you also ignored that.

But what do you consider "negative"? Disagreement? Stating that someone is wrong in their analysis? Are these what you consider negative?

But maybe its an irrelevant question. Here, I suggested "burying the hatchet" and your response is: "it's all your fault. You are the only person who has any fault here, and if I'm condescending, well, that's your fault too."

Either way, can I then assume that you don't wish to take any personal responsibility for any misunderstandings, or make any effort to resolve (what I personally think amounts to) bad blood between us?

Well, to be honest I don't see it that way. I found your responses to comments that I made to be frustrating and obtuse. The fact that you think the negative comments have always been initiated by me is a prime example.

Well, to be honest I don't see it that way. I found your responses to comments that I made to be frustrating and obtuse. The fact that you think the negative comments have always been initiated by me is a prime example. Personally, I think you are oblivious to a lot of your own attitude and approach. I know that sounds harsh, but I'm yet to see any indication that your even capable of self-analysis or self-reflection.

Another case in point. What you offer here is a justification, essentially putting all the blame for any misunderstandings on me. You never indicated any openness to different ways of looking at the topic matters you raise, at least as far as I have seen.

MANY TIMES, when I went out of my way to highlight what I think are good posts or good content you post, you ignored that and only responded when I offered a criticism or made a comment that didn't go along with your own views.

You see? Here, I suggested "burying the hatchet" and your response is: "it's all your fault. You are the only person who has any fault here, and if I'm condescending, well, that's your fault too."

39, do you expect board members to never comment or criticise your reasonings, interpretations or methods? That if someone wishes to comment on your posts, that only comments that agree with or reinforce your own thinking have any value? Do you equate critical review of your posts or comments as "negative"?

If you are unwilling to consider that maybe you're not perfectly right and you might have missed something, criticism will naturally fall on deaf ears.

But, personally, I desire to resolve or ameliorate what I think are misunderstandings between us. Therefore, if you are willing to provide me with one or more examples of these "negative comments", then I promise to review them, reflect on them, and set the record straight (aka take personal responsibility for them).

If you are unwilling to "bury the hatchet", then at least aid me in attempting to assuage any of the issues that seem to have caused you to become condescending "only over time".

And if you are unwilling even to meet me halfway, well, that's your choice.
