My point is that I DIDN'T throw rocks but somehow you took it that way. Kinda like someone who accidently bumps their head on a tree and looks behind them and gets mad because they think someone threw a rock. Look, I know you read the transcript. I POSTED it with the very intention of you reading it so you would see I'm not trying to insult you, but you see that as the case anyway. Why don't you give specific examples of what you think was intended as an insult so I can correct the misconception on a more specific level? Not every single interaction is a form of conflict you know, let's try and work together on this thing.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
