Thanks for the thoughtful response, John. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, and I'm sorry if I appear that way. My "prostrate" comment was my way of playfully telling you I'm not arguing with you or your right to post here, I completely accept the reality of what you're doing. It was a
not a
.
I have no anger about you or your posts, and I don't mind criticism of Steve. Actually, I was wondering if you don't trust the owner of the forum, what's the attraction? And you seem to talk about your reasons for not trusting him or the things he says
a lot. You don't seem angry, or to be carrying the slicing sword of righteous reason like MrsCogan was (well, maybe a little?
). In my experience, when someone talks a lot about not trusting someone, there's some mirroring going on (and yes, I'll look at that for myself!
) I gotta say, the "prostrate" thing is a pretty good example of that, I think.
I asked my question of you because, if I feel like someone's being inauthentic or scammy or spammy, I don't tend to participate in their blog. It's a little hard for me to wrap my head around why you or others would do that, as opposed to the many other bloggers who also have interesting talk going on in their forums, but the owner is someone whose views you're open to. I mean, if you're distrustful, how open can you be?
I sort of get it more, now -- you are posting on other sites as well, it looks like, and you're just broadening your posting horizon, yes?
