You are a great writer Steve, but you discredit your self by beating on John.Er, thank you. For the first part anyway. :)
As for beating on John, you seem to be making it sound like I'm kicking some poor defenseless puppy or something.
It seems that all you want to do is pick apart every statement with your bold font re-printing of other peoples posts.
Uh, that's called quoting. It's a useful device so that the reader can see exactly what it is you're responding to so they don't have to keep bouncing back and forth between two or more posts. It also helps to keep one's replies in their proper context. I quote from original messages in bold italic to distinguish it from my replies. When I quote from other posts or texts, I just use italics.
I know quoting isn't very commonly used on web-based message boards but I cut my teeth many years ago on old pre-public Internet dialup computer BBS systems and Usenet newsgroups where extensive quoting is standard procedure. I've just continued that practice here.
As for "picking apart every statement", why not? Every statement was made originally so they must have been intended to have some relevance. Otherwise why were the statements made in the first place? And on forums where quoting is common practice, not addressing a statement can lead to accusations of ignoring or avoiding pertinent information. So I just try and be thorough. I'll even quote statements in which I'm in full agreement. Not just those I disagree with.
What makes a man want to do this, what are you gaining?
Thoroughness.
