You do your arguments no favors by being snarky.

Does Rokke do his arguments any favor that way because his posts have been arrogant, condescending and snarky the whole thread through.

I'll tell you what. I'll let Rokke defend himself if he comes back. He is perfectly capable of it.

I've watched him post on a variety of subjects for a long time and have appreciated his patience. Therefore I have great respect for him and read much of what he says within that context. I do not see it as arrogance or condescending, but simply an attempt at establish "rules of engagement." You would expect a man of his background to do exactly that.

I apologize that I do not have the same lengthy context to use for other posters on this thread. I do now and will take it into consideration if we meet up again.

So, with that I'll leave it alone. This should not devolve into an argument about personalities, but should remain about ideas.

I profoundly disagree with the original premise of this thread. That is the bottom line.

"Does Rokke do his arguments any favor that way because his posts have been arrogant, condescending and snarky the whole thread through."

My arguments would be none of the above if people didn't make patently false statements and then refuse to offer anything to support them. It's as simple as that. And when a person asks a question and then responds to the answer with "ROTFLOLPIMP Holy smokes!" I know longer feel the need to treat him with anything more than contempt.
