I'm well versed in the internet. And experience tells me that once you've missed your mark with some users, there is no path to recovery. The argument isn't worth it because you are never arguing the same point.Don't do that. This is a discussion. You are entitled to your opinion. No one wins when members feel that they are being driven out of a thread. Heck, there are many of us, not referencing you, who try to convey their point, and for whatever reason, others don't understand the point. That is the problem with a message board and not being face-to-face. It is like telling everyone how good-looking I am. You can't appreciate it until you see it.
As a communicator, it's ultimately on me. I didn't get it done and it's time to just take my L and go home.
