so.. what are your hobbies—how do you spend your free time?
are you a good person?
do you really really really like star [fill in the blank]?
do you come from a very religious family?
of the available snacks, which is your favourite?
are you british? explain...

None of those questions are relevant to this thread/discussion. Try refuting my points, not attacking me as a person.

it's clear you have communication issues and a fixation on perfection by the way you argue and the fact that so many of your posts are edited after posting, instead of just using the preview button before submitting. you dwell on things beyond their appropriate context but you're only comfortable expressing them in their defined locations.

it's not my fault your personality is fascinating. and it's not my fault i see all of this as a running conversation that exists beyond the superficial boundaries of a single thread.

are you an aspie, and what is your super power?

Please, don't patronize me. Your questions about how I spend my free time, if my family is religious, etc. seem as though you want me to reveal potentially objectionable or unpopular things about me. I am especially skeptical since you obviously disagree with me.

Let's say you are being 100% genuine...this still isn't the venue for it. This isn't "Let's Get to Know IWriteThings". Threads are boundaries we should try to follow.

Who cares if I try to be perfect? I'm not editing my posts after someone replies or anything objectionable. Don't count my time or measure my effort, I'll use it as I see fit.

Does that "nobody listens to what I say" thread that he made still exist?

a question about your family being religious is about your upbringing, not your own personal views.

No.

Good point, I didn't think of that.
