I suppose that RT is a master in putting forward strong opinions
preferably without argumentation. This could be a way to stirr things
up. On the other hand his way of expressing himself makes staying on
topic a challenge.
I for one could live with some diplomacy around here.
Cheers to y'all!

As the insult comic Don Rickles gets referred to as: Mr Warmth
I think of the very creative, talented, and highly intelligent Roman
Turovsky as: Mr Tact.
I too wish that Roman would expand on his interesting, but very
terse,
thoughts.
Best,
Stephen.

Hi Daniel,
I am sorry that you felt addressed by my not so polite remark - it
was
actually a (too) quick reaction to Roman's answer to my original
question. I felt somewhat mistreated by simply getting the message
that
all my assumptions on which the question were fallacious, full
stopp
-
with no further explanations. That style felt like a slap in the
face
instead of an answer, telling me mainly how ignorant I am (in
infinite
contrast to him) instead of giving me the chance to learn better.
Maybe I misunderstood his intention. Actually I would very much
like
to
understand his very interesting statements better and to judge
them.
