Perplexed,

My purpose is to seek out people of very, very high intelligence who can
grasp many concepts and hold them in
their minds and maintain the ability to make sense.

All my real friends are either highly intelligent or very non-judgmental or
both... mostly both. Some of them might surprise you, but that is neither
here nor there.

If you are satisfied with breathing hot out of one intellectual nostril and
cold out the other, and saying something in one breath and then unsaying it
in the next, I do not fault you for that.

Why do you fault me for saying what I see, when I am perfectly willing for
you to say what you see?

It is very possible everyone on sbe will not see it the same way, but that
is okay with me.

It seems I have been causing a lot of resentment. But if people would speak
their ideas and let me speak mine without attacking me for mine, that would
be nice.

Where I have given a different view, I have not attacked anyone with a
different one. I have sort of returned a little fire where someone else
fired the first shot.

No effort has been made by me to take anything away from anybody or shame
anybody. However, it is hard for
me to roll over and play dead when someone obviously does not get something
and blames me, rather than simply presenting facts and arguments.

You have said in at least twenty different posts that I am attacking. I
don't have any answers about anything... just
thoughts. Why that should be a threat to someone SECURE in his belief he
knows what the answers are, and the only language they could possible be
phrased in... puzzles me.

Tell you what, though. Just to give you some respite from being exposed to
anything you have not already made up your mind about, I've got some
projects that are calling me away anyhow.
