Actually, "we" (I can only speak for myself, but I'll run with the "you guys" card since you invoked it) dismiss your "explanations" specifically, and I don't think anyone has ever dismissed a single one of your "explanations" without describing exactly why they have done so. As I said, you either do not have a clear picture, or you are incapable of communicating it. It's very easy to blame others for our own shortcomings, but at some point we must "man up" and accept that the only common denominator in all of our failures is ourselves. Wouldn't you agree?
It is not my responsibility (or anyone else's) to provide you with a means or method to make a compelling case for your own beliefs. You must handle that yourself.
I do not believe. This means that I assign no value whatsoever to your explanations (insomuch as they are founded upon belief), or the time you spent in getting them (because the span of time is completely irrelevant with regards to whether or not you or I believe). It's entirely possible that I have heard your explanations before, is it not? You should probably have understood all of this before your first post, and since you choose to continue attempting to "explain" things, there's no sense in complaining about whether or not people believe you, when speaking about something they don't believe in. To take this even further, it isn't so hard to explain something you understand very well in a succint and concise way. I do it day in and day out with my clients. I've spent much more time learning my trade than they have, somehow I am capable of explaining what it is I do (and how they can do it) in a shorter span of time than you have been here, and probably in about as much time as it takes you to write a medium sized post. I suspect that you do not understand the subject as well as you have imagined. You may be familiar with your talking points, but you seem incapable of elaborating upon those points in the face of even minor skepticism or inquiry. Again, this is your own shortcoming, and it gets incredibly tiresome to see you repeatedly resorting to blaming others when you fail to make your own case. Asking others to show you how to make your own case. Complaining that you have made your own case and that no one but you can see it. It doesn't give you any credibility as an authority, and it definitely doesn't establish you as a person worth talking to about any issue. Why not just cut to the chase, invoke prophecies of hard hearts and closed eyes? It's all pretense.
