Side note, from someone with no skin in this game (Off-Topic)

That's not a conversation ender - that's an opportunity for you to say "here's what I saw, how does that differ from what you saw?"

I’ve been wanting to respond to him all day but have not had the time. There were problems with my posts, but... I can’t do much more than break a twenty second scene into 15 observations. My post could have been better in some areas, but I don’t think not talking about what I saw is one of them.

I guess i wasn't clear. That's what I meant by "You'd have the same general conversation as you had - but without the resentment. " You DID show him exactly what you saw, but instead of inviting him to engage, you demanded that he concede that you were right or that post would '"be the end".

No... I'm sorry, Claude, but I strongly disagree. When two people hold completely different opinions and neither of them are willing to concede any points to the other, the proper thing to do is to agree to disagree. As I explained in a previous post, that's what I intended to do before I was accused of throwing a hissy fit. So, a good bit of the fault lies with me simply for posting again after I said I wouldn't. I also used a very poor, confrontational tone when I really meant to indicate that Cruel and I would need to agree to disagree if he did not wish to change his opinion after I fully laid out my point of view. I've always said that tone matters... and mine was awful. Again, fault mine.

But, both of us were unwilling to change our minds. Yet, only one of us is labeled as super-rigid. That's the part I respectfully do not accept. I really will have to agree to disagree with you on that point.
