This why there is such a problem communicating with you - you are
incapable of agreeing with anyone else's point of view unless it happens
to be your own. This is also part of your problem. My stating as such is
not negative it is realistic.
Preferring or pretending to see agreement where none exists is not only
negative it is intellectually dishonest. That is not in the spirit of
the MoQ.
A lack of response to a question or statement is not a confirmation of
its validity - it is a lack of response to a question or statement.

and yet now you change your tack and say that it does when you said
previously that it didn't! Please make up your mind.
If someone says nothing to you when you state your point of view you are
not entitled to take that as agreement in any sort of rational or
intelligent conversation.
If you want to present your point of view on this forum then do so, I
have not tried to stop you, however if you want to state that other
members of this forum agree with your point of view then please present
some sort of evidence. If you have no evidence to show this then you
cannot claim that you do because you 'prefer' to do so.
I am also trying to remain civil in the face of your increasingly
irrational and bizarre statements and your (poorly) veiled insults.

Hi Horse,
No, I cannot see that I "have a problem". What do I have a problem
with? Please explain rather than just throw out such a derogatory
statement. For such a statement is indeed a negative outlook, and
certainly is not in the spirit of MoQ.
If I prefer to see a lack of response as agreement, who are you to
tell me otherwise? What do you mean by “the only way. What book of
rules are you referring to? Perhaps you see a lack of response as a
disagreement. This could be your choice, but it stems from a negative
outlook in MoQ. Remember, Quality is a tendency of the Good, not Bad.
Or am I wrong there? Because of this, the negative and the positive
are important, and cannot be summarily dismissed as you say.
Obviously I have presented some questions here. Shall I take a lack
of response as a disagreement to how the questions were formulated?
Sometimes I have no idea where you are coming from. Therefore I
request clarification so that I may better understand what you are
writing to me.
Take your time and don't just reflexively tell me that I have a
problem because I have a problem. I could easily state that you
have “a problem”, but I see no value in that. I am trying to remain
civil to another human being.
By the way, silence has great value. It is what occurs between notes
on a piano. What good would decorative music be without silence? So
your “less quality than silence” makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Maybe you could explain this phrase to me as well. If not, I can
always assume that your silence is in disagreement with my statement
about silence...
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark
Choosing to infer something from nothing is different to inferring
something from something - if you can't see that you have a problem.
Having a positive or negative outlook is irrelevant.
The only way you can know that someone agrees with you is if they say
they agree with you.
Taking a lack of agreement as agreement has less quality than silence.
