Do you understand that is the only way he knows how to talk to people? Do you understand that it drives his wife crazy?
LOL
I am open to suggestions on how to better phrase the question.
I don’t understand how people could have the knowledge of microfossils, sedimentary basins, cap rocks, etc and believe crude oil is sourced from abiotic sources.
So I start there with that information. I’ve had several discussions start from this with people on Free Republic that did not have that information, or understand enough geology to visualize sedimentary layers miles deep.
I tend to be be very literal in communication. I try to be precise and concise in my writing. Some people take that as rude, but that tends to be they add an inflection and meaning that never existed.
Most Freepers consider it quite rude to talk about another Freeper in a public forum with ping that Freeper. Perhaps you see it differently.
