Xeno, turq is kind of like a big old bear with a thorn in its paw. BUT when he wrote that blasted blasting post, maybe he was also a hungry, wounded bear, hungry for what he thinks of as good writing. What baffles me is why he didn't simply ignore my offending posts! Anyway, I shall keep my psychological speculations to myself. At least, for now (-:

It makes me wonder if somewhere in your life history your method of responding to people developed in response to some less than pleasant events, or it could a family characteristic. Some people seem inclined to confrontation and argument more than others. So in reply to your last comment, aside from the question I asked about percentages, I do think you are confrontational and accusatory. I am stating this as if it were a fact. But the other side of the coin is, do you think yourself that you are this way or not? Do the people on the forum who are generally favourable to you think you are confrontational and accusatory? There would seem to be a range of opinion on this issue. I would assume that those who thought you were would tend to be more favourable in Barry's direction, and those who felt you were not would not be favourable to Barry, and even if they thought you were confrontational and accusatory, would feel it was justified as you championed ideas and an outlook on life they were more comfortable with.
