Health, I happen to agree with you in this thread, although sharp also has a good point.
A personal note to Health:
I hope you won’t get too upset at me for saying this, but you are smart enough and insightful enough that I hope you can just take it as my personal opinion and not a criticism. Sometimes it seems to me that you like to have the last word in an argument. Most people will post agreement comments half the time, and disagreement comments the other half, but I sometimes feel like all of your posts are disagreement comments. In addition, I sometimes feel that your arguments would be stronger if you allowed them to speak for themselves, rather than re-arguing every single little point that you disagree with until the other person is tired out.
You are obviously very smart and intelligent, and accustomed to being right most of the time in real life. I don’t know if you’re aware that online this comes across in a way that is unpleasant for others to read.
Again, I hope you don’t mind my saying this. I think you are very well-educated and have a lot to share with us, and I am sure that many people agree, even those who disagree with you. I don’t want to discourage you from posting your arguments. I just think that you may not be aware of the above, and I hope you will forgive me for pointing it out publicly if you are.
All the best,
