It was an analogy. You can't teach teach algebra to a 3 year old and not expect them to leave. It's all about tailoring ones responses.
Quote:I accept every individual has a different viewpoint. Have I forcibly changed anyone?
Of course not, but then again I'm not even sure what you want from the forum or expect to achieve in all these dialogues. Perhaps if you stated in clear practical terms to the Mod team/members or whoever else what it is you desire than perhaps something can be worked out.
"I accept most people have a different and conservative opinion to public nudity, but we're going to run in the streets and wave it out for all to see anyway". That's exactly what I'm seeing here with you.
You're acknowledging everyone has a different viewpoint as a disclaimer, yet your many threads act to the contrary. It's akin to passive aggression.
Quote:A consensus will always be reached. It's just a matter of time whether it be a day or eons. This universe is going to unite and there is nothing we can do about it. We might as well embrace it.
Is it not already united? There is already consensus here.
The desire to reach a consensus in the way you are stating to me invalidates the acceptance of differing, and perhaps the inclusion of contradictory, perspectives.
