Also..Why do you think that my motive is to change your beliefs? I am not posting for your benefit. I post for other conservatives. I also read Free Republic so that I can pick up their fresh new ideas and clever ways of expressing them. ( Please see my tag line.)

I don't believe that is your goal. *I* treat online posting as a means of exchanging ideas (possibly persuasive) rather than changing beliefs. However, I've also explicitly stated that, based on my direct personal experience, I'm not particularly approachable from some directions and statements. (I'm honest and upfront about that.) I informed you of this so that you might try a different approach IF you were actually interested in exchanging ideas in some possibly persuasive fashion. Since you chose not to do that I said "I think that is the friendliest parting of the ways that can be managed..." That is... It seems as if we would be talking at cross purposes and neither one would be getting what they wanted. So I put you on the plonk list. Have a good day. =D

I really don't give a twit about any government school defender's "direction". I am not posting for their benefit. I see their posts as a whetting stone upon which to sharpen conservative arguments.

If you do not find the above satisfying, then a parting of the ways is likely best for you.
