Make a quotable quote here.

Does this seem like a useful discussion? Perhaps a critique of wordsmanship belongs in a thread devoted to ones own favorite quotes.

No what people don't like about me is that I AM FOCUSED, it simply does not seem that way because when you already know the checkmate move you skip all the claptrap from the opening move. I simply hate the dance, and if you make a claim to me, I am going to simply cut to the chase.

Focused? Yes and no. Sometimes you are focused and on point. I will be the first to admit that you are worth reading when you are on point.

However, as often as not, you have misunderstood what has been said, and are off tilting at your own private windmill composed of your misunderstanding of what was said or meant.

To paraphrase Mae West, when you're good, you're quite good. Unfortunately when you're bad, as is all too often the case, you're off in no man's land talking to yourself.

I don't know what to suggest. Perhaps a bit more charity. As a Taoist, that's a frequent tack of mine. Even if I know the mistakes a person is going to make, Spectrum excluded, I don't jump ahead. Making those mistakes is their path, it's the stuff they need to work through on their own, and jumping in with your own answers does worse than deprive them of the chance to learn, it shows them you don't trust them to lead, that maybe they aren't ready — and may make them more reluctant to dare the next time. I don't have any scientific evidence that this is a good way; all I know is it feels right to me.
