Sorry, just don’t get it.
Firstly, I specifically said that if you’re just throwing out the question, and don’t mean to say that due to your understanding otherwise you don’t have to listen (which I did feel was implied in your post), then I’ve no issue. So no straw man – I explicitly excluded that possibility from my comment.
As to the issue itself – you can go on ad on about how sick it is, but you’re not answering my point: if you DESERVE an explanation from someone, and feel entitled to disregard what they say due to your having imbibed enough wisdom to decide things for yourself, then you simply cannot claim to be believing in, or following, anyone. They’re just there to rubber-stamp your position, or at best provide occasional input.
