And this is your fundamental problem, MPC. You think that what YOU believe is what everyone believes or should believe. When someone disagrees with you, you are not interested in finding out why there is a disagreement. Instead, you slip quickly into passive- aggressive mode where you simply reiterate your previous statement, as though endless repetition will make it so. "That's a cat." "Don't be daft, it's a squirrel." "That's a cat." "Here is a picture of a squirrel. See? It's a squirrel." "That's a cat." "What makes you think it's a cat? It has no whiskers, it has no retractable claws. It has rodent teeth." "That's a cat." "OK, pal, you want to believe it's a cat, you go right ahead. See you later." "That's a cat." Now -- do you believe that you have won something by being the last to insist that it's a cat? PD

Thank you for being so transparently pathological.
