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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
 
Ah, that ol' response. I used to, I don't much anymore. But neither do many people on the politics forum. Are you asking all of them that question or just fascinated with little ol' me?

Is this directed to me? Which post are you referring to, if so?

This kind of double-speak doesn't add value. I stated my comment was rhetorical. Go look up the word if you need further insight.

I don't honestly care if you think I am being truthful. Think whatever you wish.

Fantastic.
 
I do not recall ever posting on ET about protests during the Revolutionary or Civil war, or having posted on soldiers looting their enemies, no. I do not recall seeing such topics ever on ET.

Just to be clear, you have started topics before on ET, no?
 
Your entire post, apparently. We can do this all day, if you like. I've got a slow schedule. But when most people see a response to their post is misunderstood, they don't simply post "that's not what I said". They post "that's not what I said" and then clarify what they said or meant. That is, if they are interested in having a conversation and not just trolling like I am beginning to suspect you are more interested in.

When I believe someone intentionally mischaracterized my words; or, when I can't see where I've been unclear, I'll asked them to support their general allegation that my "whole post is unclear!" by at least being specific.

If it is truly unclear, it's simpler for that person to just explain which parts are unclear, and why; than it would be for me to try to guess ... possibly being unclear again.
