userque said:Everyone can't formulate a 'good' google search. I'm pretty good at it, and I felt you probably weren't able to find what you were looking for via your own google search.
Tsing Tao said:I appreciate your willingness to share your expertise in google searching. But it wasn't that I wasn't able so much as wasn't willing or didn't care.
I would think that if you "wasn't willing," you would have said, "I wasn't willing." And if you didn't care, I would think that you'd exclaim, "I didn't care!" But since you said you were either not willing, or didn't care, makes me think you actually did care. Why wouldn't you yourself know which reason actually applied?
userque said:Yes, you came to me. After I provided the information you asked for, you came to me to discuss it. My initial "response" was only providing you a search phrase and link. I offered you no discussion. Rather than thanking me, you initiated this back and forth.
Tsing Tao said:I never asked for anything from you. You should probably look up the phrase "Rhetorical Question" with those expert search engine skills.
You remind me of Trump when he later claimed he was being sarcastic regarding that huffing/drinking bleach thing. Due to your credibility issues I addressed earlier, I'm not so sure you're being truthful with me right now.
userque said:All members can be involved in a discussion on a public forum. If you don't want others to see your public
discussions, try starting a private facebook group including only the people you want to talk to, or try the private messaging feature here. Not trying to be funny, but I can find the facebook link for you if you don't already know about that feature.
Tsing Tao said:I don't mind others seeing my posts at all. Did I say that I did? As an aside, I don't use Facebook.
Here's what you said,
It should come from the people involved in the conversation - not regurgitated google articles that originated with other people.
After your objection, and after rereading you sentence a few times, I pieced together what you were trying to say, I understand now.
