You need not take it personally.

Since I don't know which Dave you are, to me, you are "Dave".

I imagine that everyone, here, knows which Bruce I am.


Dave: I don't know you. But I'll continue to call you Bruce rather than "Bruce" because I feel the latter is disrespectful.

Also, "Dave", part of the way I percieve you communicating your beliefs, is as if they are "the truth" instead of just your beliefs, as if already, everyone who reads and is exposed to your beliefs, accepts that as "the truth", and since that is not true, in my case, I must challenge that.

Dave: I was merely expressing my beliefs based on my experiences in reply to Roy. Your beliefs are your beliefs. I was merely expressing mine nothing more.

So, "Dave" if you want me to be less challenging, then I suggest you fully share your beliefs as your beliefs and not as a combination of your perceptions and some dominant world or universal view that every one has and therefore must accept as "the truth".

Thank you, very much.

Dave: Bruce, I really don't enjoy having a discourse with you. Perhaps you could leave me in peace? I hope so.

Best regards,

Dave
