Do you /ever/ have anything on-topic to say?

Any comments that are not meant to be upsetting so as to wind up some
poor sod?

Anything that's not grotesquely hypocritical like your comment above -
hypocritical, because your many posts to me over the last day have all
been nothing but ranting at a perfectly straightforward factual
explanation.

Of course you're unable to address the points I raise - all you can do
is say that I'm wrong.

It's a problem you've got, you know that? The way you are unable to
admit that I might possibly be correct about anything.

I really don't understand why you keep posting these personal comments -
why not stick to the technical issues this newsgroup is for?
owland.

One could ask you the same question. And mine weren't personal: they
were general, as in general rule, which I and others have always found
works best.

Get it wrong: admit it. The world moves on.

You can't understand your own sickness of the mind, what chance do you
have with others? Just like your achievements, none :-)))

Strange - no matter what I say, he reverts to the same message.

Does anyone else understand his pathology?

He doesn't seem able to understand that his word is not an indicator of
the invalidity of a concept.

You need to take a good look at your behaviour and try to understand
where you are going wrong.

You see, The Older, you're mistaken in your ideas at this point. You
keeping telling me that I'm wrong - but you've made the cognitive error
of failing to actually address any of the actual points I've actually
made.

All you're doing is carrying on like a three year old who's refusing to
listen and just yelling because he's having a strop and doesn't want to
accept the truth.

Do you understand the problem with your behaviour?

You need to try to understand what you have got wrong, and also try to
understand just what it is you're doing wrong with your posts in
response to me.

And then, maybe, you'll be able to correct your behaviour.

It'd be worth if if you could, you know.

Rowland.
