I think a lot of users here try to hang one another publicly for small disagreements about the wording of things and huge extrapolations from the initial posts.... So people try to be careful in what they say, and that makes them seem furtive.
In a real sense, though, we are judging someone from afar when we make these accusations.
And that isn't good.
@secondson saidWhat definition of "furtive" are you using when you claim this about divegeester?
Ironic coming from one of the most furtive posters in this forum.
@fmf saidThe same definition I used when I asked divegeester if he was being furtive in my last post in the compounded error thread.

The same definition divegeester used when he accused sonship of being furtive. The definition found in a dictionary. 🙄

@secondson saidWhat is the definition you are using? I suspect you aren't using it properly. divegeester is demonstrative, his ideas out in the open, he tends to be unequovical, candid, forthright perhaps to a fault. But "furtiveness"? Huh? What definition are you using? Type it here on this thread about "Furtiveness".

-Removed-You've accused me of disliking you before sometime ago.
I think now that it's because you're projecting that sentiment onto me because that's how you feel about me.
You're not my favorite poster, and I am in disagreement with you on many levels, but I assure you that I have no negative feels toward you on a personal level.
I'm sure you're a perfectly respectable person in the real world.
-Removed-I do not think that you are actually doing that, though.
You are forcing the covnersation into specific sets of words that are not appropriate to the circumstance, and you are ignoring the nuances of others.
This is actually the exact opposite of the proper sort of focus that you should have in a discussion.
You are only focusing on your own perspectives and trying to cram everyone else's ideas into your own perspective. That is not how a debate should unfold.
