Dave you remind me of a friend of mine, One day he is absolutely resolute he knows better than everyone else in this or that, he mocks me, tells me i am wrong, calls me names and things, and I just wait it out patiently...eventually, a few days later, maybe a few weeks, it all depends...he will strike up a convo and apologise for what he said, explaining how some event occured and how it opened his eyes. I don't resent him for it. I honour his stead fast belief in himself. And I honour you Dave for your own belief, its a respectable and noteworthy quality, in all truth it humbles me to see you have such conviction in your own knowledge.

Now let me say just this, Subjective reality is a hard thing to understand it, and I think most people on this thread are at fault for assuming they know more than anyone else, me included. But your hostility was obviously going to cause resitance and a smart man like yourself knew that deep down but you let your own emotions get in the way...now you say to people go and READ, but read what? So few people even intelligently discuss this and even fewer seem to understand it even slightly, so thats why we listen to Steve, he seems to get it, yeah Dave.

And I will echo what people have said before but everyone has their own POint of View and opinion and with something so theoretical and untested as SR and LoA...Its all so hard to pin down you know?

So next time you wanna lash out at people Dave, just think that so many of us are struggling to find answers that fit, just as you are, we are all in the same boat here and you can't sink one persons end of the boat, without sinking your own!
