Hey, thanks for the favor.

Note: occasionally, I come across someone who finds my particular style to be... well, as you say, 'officious'. It's certainly true that I can be pedantic sometimes. My writing style, not to mention thinking style, occasionally rubs some people the wrong way. Some people experience it as condescending, but I don't have a problem with that. There are enough people who find my particular writing style eloquent, insightful, helpful, articulate, inspirational even. They are the people I write for. Not everyone needs to like it.

I'm not sure why, but it seems like me challenging your particular argument and way of thinking (as expressed in your comment) triggered a pretty strong reaction. I wouldn't sweat it. We don't need to agree on everything. What's really important is that we agree, by and large, on why we are here.

If my comment didn't help you or benefit you, well, I'm sad. But maybe it contributed to others who read it.

Either way, have a good day.

Edit: PS. What I wrote as "Resist taking things at face value..... by actors around you", well, that certainly applies to me as well. To any and all anons, I think. But I only really offered it because you seemed to be asking (or even suggesting) that I was telling you what to do, as in be a sleepy sheep, or whatevs. I RESPONDED to you. Maybe you should look at what YOU wrote as a starting point for looking at what I wrote in response.

But either way, either way, thanks for the favor and the advice!

PPS. If you wish to discuss further, I'm open to that. Btw, "don't answer" wasn't meant to shut you down. But I do think you're overreacting to what are essentially text messages over the net. Text is really very poor at communicating a LOT of things that are very important to real human communication. As such, it's also often liable to misinterpretation. But both you and I know that, right?

I think I'd better cease and desist here....
