Do you have then, a website in mind that we perhaps can both talk about, as our opinions on Feedbooks and the website you mention appear to be quite divergent. Of course, you don’t have to agree with me; I’m not even asking or inviting you to agree with me. I simply expressed my opinion about a website (Feedbooks), and you expressed your opinion about a different website. What's the problem? I actually fail to understand what your question is about. You ask me to explain, so now I’ve explained.
Now, why don’t you return the same courtesy and explain to me why you are so concerned about this issue of two different websites.
I’m now going to go to your last paragraph. I quote: “You pretend you want a sincere discussion, so here it is. Will you follow through?” [My boldface.] That’s your quote. Now let me ask you something: Do you really think a respectful dialogue can occur between us when you use the word “Pretend”?
cmbs, you continually skirt the borders of respectful discourse with me, and yet you continually (rudely, I might add) ask me to explain myself. Why do you offer (often) helpful suggestions to people and then add the phrase, "for what it's worth," as if your suggestions mean nothing?
Why do you do that?
Perplexed,

I didn't ask if you were making a generic comment, I already deduced that from your previous comment. I asked it's relevence to this conversation. Again - read what I wrote to find out what I wrote. What relevence does your opinion of various generic web designers' skills have to do with this discussion?
What does my adding "for what it's worth" to a comment that I gave feedback to a website have to do with anything? I gave them my opinion for what it's worth. They are welcome to act on it or not. Kindly stop with your diversionary tactics.
Again you have dodged the question. You claim (is that better than pretend?) to want a sincere discussion but you dodge the question repeatedly. I suspect you are pretending because of the fact you repeatedly dodge the relevent questions and constantly attempt to turn the topic to something else. If you were sincere, I'd expect to see real answers.
Do not talk to me about respect when you are attacking me for whatever offenses you have imagined and then pretending you have no idea why it makes me feel attacked. It looks to me as if your commments were in fact intended as attacks. If not then explain what you really meant because I am missing it.
I'm not being disrespectful, I'm just not going to let you get off topic. You want to know why I feel attacked, you pretend that I am imagining that your comments were meant to be attacks, when in fact they were innocent. Explain how they were innocent.
Prove you are not pretending and I will stop believing that you are. Answer the question.
