You've missed every point I've made. Sigh. IT'S an old communication trick. YOU and IT are not interchangeable. I still feel it holds true but was giving you the benefit of the doubt that my perception could be wrong.
Yet you come back with: but but but you are speaking for yourself.
I was speaking for no one but me, though I have no problems rising up in defense of people I admire, if need be. And the need, it has be, it has be very much, in the past.
No, I only judge people by how they treat me. Let's take that statement back a notch: I will form opinions, too, when I still see dismissive name-calling (socialist POV. You're forgiven) no matter how purty you make it.
But from a ME standpoint: In the past, and in the present, it's been A-Dog-Number-One-Crap, from you, to me.
I don't care. I'm just not going to crawl around the Emperor's New Throne. I might fart on it, though.
