That's fair enough. I am not really reading backwards through these posts to say who said what. I can't really attribute motives to you that don't concur with your own assessment.
If there is any difference, you say you are trying to get me to challenge my perspective. Some people say that is what I do here, but that does not mean I am trying to get anyone to challenge their own perspective. I am doing the challenging, when I challenge a perspective. If they decide it is easier to reassess their view than to continue to face my challenge, that is their thing. If thier position is strong, my challenge would have no effect, nor should it. I confront others with my perspective and then assess the reaction. Maybe i will change, maybe they will, or maybe the status quo will stand fast.
