    Just found it funny and peculiar, that he directly asked me two questions and then responds like he does, when I post the answers...

    still I guess it's par for the course with that level of special

    You know, sometimes it's possible to play the ball, not the man. It's possible to debate and discuss ideas without attacking individuals.

    What 'ball' did you play exactly with the following post;

    Or were you not referring to your own post and/or you were just philosophising in general?
    (Because it looks like a thinly veiled ad-hominem attack, with no idea discussion/debate whatsoever...so it may be possible, but you don't do that)

    Bless. My point is that, usually, anyone disagreeing with e.g. the transgender lobby is called a fascist and/or Nazi. However, you are correct that, this doesn't equate to someone disagreeing with anything someone else says. There are a few topics this happens with (and mainly in the USA): Trump, Wage gap, transgenderism.


    I understood it, but just don't feel you're being genuine, hence my repeating. i.e. Why did you make post #58 at all, if you completely understood my answer in post #57, which had already answered the question to both post #56 & #58 ?

    Perhaps you agreed with misunderstanding my post, but disagreed with being labelled special?

    Perhaps it was the duplicate posting forum bug?

    Perhaps it's simply a case of an older person repeating themselves?

    Did you not understand my last answer? I kept it simple for you.

    In that post I've not said any particular person on this thread is disabled mentally or physically, I've not quoted/misquoted or quoted out of context.
