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.

With all due respect, I must refrain from engaging you in further conversation until your manners improve or until you attack someone else who may disagree with your opinions. You seem to see so many people attacking you, and I’m wondering why. Usually, only spies and children see a world comprised of attacks, innuendoes, hurt feelings, dissent, reprimands, offenses.
In your world, I (and anyone else who does not see or agree with your world-view) is someone who is attacking you. If this is the case, why do people attack you?
You denigrate your opinions with the phrase “for what it’s worth,” as if your feelings have been hurt. You have dodged my question. You accuse me of dodging questions; I accuse you of dodging questions.
Your words:
“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.”
Do you not see how your rhetoric and attitude – from the above quote - does little to help a community (any community, for that matter) engage in a fruitful discussion of differing ideas and opinions? You demand of people explanations for your imaginings. The explanations are simple: They are the words themselves on the computer screen; there are no hidden agendas and certainly no need to be fearful of these words. (Do you not also see how your very last sentence - "
Answer the question." - is an abrupt and rude sentence?)
And yet, cmbs, I maintain in this post a tone of courteous discourse when dealing with you, knowing full well that you will once again use my words to see this as an attack upon the safe world inside your head.
I wish you well, cmbs, knowing with full knowledge that even this paragraph may perhaps be construed by you as an overt attack. And yet, I cannot help but say it two times more, like a mantra, in hope that what I say may indeed come true for you: I wish you well. I truly wish you well. In the meantime, our simple planet cares does not one whit about messy-looking websites and hurt feelings. No, only people can care, no matter how complicated you, I, or others may appear to be as we think our supreme thoughts and eventually die.
Sincerely,
Don
