Yay! An inconsistency ((((AuntieMel))))
(I'm serious here 100% no sarcasm).> I can't speak for others. But it seems to me that since you were so obviously (to me, and I think you will agree) confused by what the heck DNP meant that you would by more sympathetic towards another poster who was also confused.
I didn't think I was confused... Really. I didn't think I was confused. I made several mistakes. I see those now. I got blocked for something where I saw it one way - but once the other way was pointed out to me then I saw it the other way too. So I don't think it was that I was confused...
> So - to me there is a disconnect, which I don't understand. And I'm seeing a disconnect from someone who usually uses logic to understand things. Hence my surprise.
Hmm. '"Tries" to use logic may be more appropriate... ;-) I'm no logician. Besides which I find other people point out my inconsistencies fairly frequently. I don't mind that. In fact I appreciate it because you can't do anything about fixing it if you don't know the problem exists.
I think this is what people find suprising about me.
I find it suprising that other people find it suprising.
I make mistakes a lot.
I make logical errors a lot.
I make inconsistent claims a lot.
But I appreciate knowing that I'm doing these things (so long as it is pointed out in a civil way).Really.
> Are people trying to get you blocked? Was Emmy trying to get Larry blocked? I can't know either one of those answers, because I can't get inside the head of another. I can only form pseudo-judgememts based on what I see.Yeah. I don't believe posters are trying to get other posters blocked. But as has come up on the boards before mostly with respect to Lou: people get nervous when someone requests determination on their posts. People get nervous even when they are fairly sure they haven't done anything wrong. Because one never can be 100% sure and so one starts to worry...
And what do people say with regards to Lou's requests for determination? And what do they wish he would do instead?
> But I'll tell you, I am not trying to get you blocked. Just trying to point out what I see as an inconsistency.Ok.
I believe you.
Could you have a go at pointing out the inconsistency again? I'm sorry but I can't see it yet.
