” haven’t been following your conversations
all i know is that your posts are very leading
they continually bring the person to answer you with questioning of them…. perhaps you are lonely.. i know we all are lonely to a degree…. there’s something about how you post and persist…. you have done it to me… i say what i need to say and you keep on pushing on it, as if perhaps i haven’t said anything pertinent… “

i don’t think i can translate that any better except to say sometimes… or better said often….

you ask a question.. someone answers
you ask the same question again in transposed words
they answer again
you ask again in a different way, the same question
they try one more time to answer again

moments after they answer you post the same question again, only rephrased

in rapid fire succession..

this tells me that perhaps you haven’t read the initial answer(s) because it seems to happen so fast that your sole purpose isn’t the answer to the question at all but simply to have some kind of interplay of words, some kind of interraction

but interaction without content is like exactly what you said

talking to yourself

k&d, i’m not trying to put you down…. i am trying to help make you aware…… i have tried to have many conversations with you, some of which i thought turned out quite successfully with a meeting of minds…

other times, however, i feel like i have to be prepared to repeat myself over and over in order to get my point across when i said it just fine the first time and it’s sorta frustrating

i would like to see you become a good listener

you are always a good questioner… you ask the right questons… but i don’t think you need to repeat yourself by asking them over and over in a different way after they have already been answered

sorta like this post of mine where i am repeating what i’m saying over and over and over in different ways in hopes that you get my point

slow down, please

to bombard people with questions over and over after they already took the time out to try to answer the best they could can be frustrating…. to me at least it is… i can’t speak for others

i want to follow and read your threads but sometimes i feel like i’m running around in circles watching you chase people without hearing what they have to say

forgive my honesty

please know this is me trying to be nice to you to try to help you grow and learn and become a great listener because those skills will add to your ability to think and reason and come to conclusions

i hope all that made sense

forgive me for repeating myself
