Jon Stewart should stand aside and let someone younger run the show

136. if you look closer you see that I'm polite and conversational

...to people who present themselves that way to me.

I think some folks here think because they're able to respond to a thread that the poster is supposed to be agreeable to their pov.

Some get frustrated and lash out. I'm very adept at responding to those posts, as well, and I'm no stranger to being bullied on a thread as if I have some obligation to respond.

Those who are projecting some kind of authoriative demand for attention may get even less for that effort from me.

Most of my posts are a share, not an obligation, and most DUers respond as if they understand there's an ordinary person on the other end, as you did at the beginning of our discussion, which I always appreciate.

I'm always eager to share ideas, and I'm more sure of what I believe than anything else I post, so I get a bit sore at folks who want to denigrate those.

This tiff is more about my fatigue with responding than from your own back and forth.

I appreciate the kind word, though.
