When you all tend to disagree, I generally get a "nut-uh" based on a feeling or the general sense that you simply know better. When to me I see the only legitimate way to 'disagree' with a conclusion based on some sort of reference material is to provide a stronger reference or to show the the current reference material is being used in error. This rarely with only one or two people ever happens.
I get a general dismissal based on feeling. You guys claim you want 'proof', but when it it provided you default to faith. Bottom line is the majority simply do not Want to believe in anything they do not already acknowledge.
If you read the posts we write to you, and all you get is "nuh-uh," then your reading comprehension is utterly terrible. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is; I've seen lengthy, intelligent posts that must have taken quite a bit of time to write, ignored by you in favor of repeating your A/S/K nonsense, despite the best efforts of many of us to disabuse you of this. I've seen brief, snarky yet sincere posts become the subject of irritable rants about your faith, and more commonly unverifiable assertions in place of facts.
The best you could say is that you get back what you give out, Drich.
