Recipe for failure.

I rather doubt rose colored glasses have ever been part of the essential gear.

Sleep at this juncture would probably be best. Plus it's been a long day for all of us
all over the world. Try to understand we're all different and that hearing somebody
say 'thank you' isn't really all that 'subtle' when you wake up. Just live and let live!

to a loftier plane. Why would you even waste your time arguing with mere mortals,
those of us who, in our ignorance, still entertain hopes and dreams?
We are humbled in your presence.

In my view, 'arguing' = a colossal waste of time. Even hawks exhibit nobility. They first discuss which rabbit to devour.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyEverything is an argument. There is a scholarly book that has that as the title. No matter what you are say or write or design you are always making an implicit argument of some sort. For instance, if you’re designing a website, you’re making the argument that this is the best site to use — all the elements should work together to convey that information and persuade the user that your argument is true. Same with other forms of advertising and how we present ourselves to others. We all try to sell ourselves to others daily so they will cooperate with us and help us get the goodies we want. We are all living breathing arguments for our beliefs, even if we are "simply" conversing we are still just arguing but at a friendlier, "sociable" level.

You can't argue!
Only discuss!
Read the TOS, yet again! 😉
I am making a friendly conversational point that they reject.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyOf course, Bobby, you never argue. You're just a noble hawk discussing lunch.

seems to have changed. Sort of as if you're either posting left handed or trying to tie double knots. Stuff going down?
