The issue wasn't whether a blanket statement would be accepted by all. The issue was whether you could make peace by telling a group of disputants, amongst other things, that there was some sort of legitimacy in one disputant having called another arrogant. (You probably did not _intend_ to do that, but you managed to do it none-the-less, as a consequence of not having actually followed what was being said.)
I was more trying to point out that the same way you can send me a direct e-mail telling me....to put it bluntly.... "mind my business"...couldn't you do the same in regards to whomever it is you're at opposites with regarding opinion, lack of facts, inclusion of facts, whether or not points are valid, moot, frivolous, etc.
Again, you're writing as if there are just two sides here (so that there are "opposites"); there are at least three distinct positions her, and possibly more.
I meant no harm in making the statements I made, and stand by them......seriously.......if you want to hash out the semantics of whom said what and in what order they were said, and what information was actually requested as opposed to what was "snipped".....omitted......spoken out of sequence etc. Then why not do it one-on-one? as opposed to attaching it to a thread in a mailing list?
You also write as if there are just two disputants; there have been almost 40! One-to-one works with two people, each only concerned with the views of the other. Otherwise, one uses something such as (tah dah!) a mailing list.
I don't "pop in" on amy of the threads.....I follow the consistently,
Attempting to follow and participating are two different things. You indeed popped-in on a discussion, and it is plain that your prior attempts to follow it had been unsuccessful.
