Of course you are, it's fight club so all nonsense is permittedSure & nobody is suggesting otherwise - as we all do, he is trying to improve his sound in the best way he sees fit. What I'm pointing out is his dismissal of other valid improvements.
Nope, I don't misunderstand what he said - your attempts to excuse it are part of the validation system I'm talking about
I recognise the need everyone has for self-validation - didn't I just say that was what the members here are looking for? What I find interesting is the deep insecurity demonstrated.
that's your opinion & you're entitled to express it as I presume I'm entitled to express mine?
I am not making excuses for Michael, you have miss interpreted his post. That's not to say if you had recognise his meaning you would agree with each other. He basically was humouring you and trying to be polite, he won't waste his time engaging with you John , his post told you that in a polite way. You missed that! It's ok though as it was subtle 'social' behaviour, it was easily missed. So yes you have fundamentally miss understood what was being communicated. You would be well served accepting that rather than continuing to deny and thusly condemn your own argument to the bin of irrelevancy.
Really what right have you to speculate on the psychological security of our members? You repeatedly accuse the membership as having some kind of psychological weakness just because they don't agree with you!
Think about that John!
You need to fraternise but ultimately make a big fuss to reject your perception of 'group' is obvious, the motivations for this behaviour I chose not to speculate on. However it's rather fatiguing, not for me but for the members.
I really don't mind, you seem intelligent to me and fairly fun to be honest. I think your only here to 'poke' the members and amuse yourself. Your used to providing yourself with amusement... You miss subtle social prompts... Umm
