I see you're now giving lectures in how to welcome new members!
This is your original post. If this is not a Put down/Dig I do not know what else it could be. You jumped in.
You followed it up with this.
Arrogant you may be, but I never put you down as being totally stupid. However, if you think I'm going to accept your perfectly polite, yes, I noted the please! response to Curiosity, you're wrong. Because it wasn't, was it? It was a put down, wasn't it? They called you out on a point about a/the rifle. I think the comment was "BS"? I'm guessing you may not have had any response so you jumped on your high horse and played Mr Superior. Then you had a go at me because I'd noticed it. Enjoy your day!
You then posted this.
I'm inclined to believe there's reason for all things, although such may not always be obvious. But back to you accusing me of reading minds -btw, you have been seen to be telling posters what they're thinking- I don't actually need to. It's all there in front of me, on the screen. The choice of words is a huge indication of the intended meaning.
Now, you may claim there was nothing terse or abrupt in your response to Curiosity, but balanced against your failure to respond to their post directly, that's exactly how it came across. You could have chosen any moment, at all, to politely 'request' that they posted an introduction, but you chose to do it in a way which turned it into a put down. But, as you say, for you, it was logical behaviour. Who am I to dispute that?
Now you were into your normal operation mode. Reading peoples minds just from a one line post. Now you are continuing your psychobabble. How do you know that it was how others would see it. Your basing it purely on your own perceptions. I had no reason to seek this information before. There is no way on Gods earth that my original request was a put down. It was a simple request to which you applied your psychic powers to attribute some ulterior motive without any evidence.
I see you also wish to end this with you having the last word. A trait I have remarked upon in other instances. I do not need to put you on ignore. I have never seen you make a single post that makes a significant contribution to the overall debate and as such I just browse your comments which continue to be based on some unique insight you claim by applying your personal understandings based almost entirely on your special abilities to know other peoples' motives and thinking.
I am happy for others to come to their own conclusions.
