Interesting. I'll observe next time.

>It's like people who don't like cats moan that the cat always comes and sits on them. It's because they narrow their eyes in disgust when they see a cat, and to a cat that's a sign of affection and invitation. If they'd only open their eyes wide and stare at the cat (which cat-lovers do, due to the enjoyment of seeing it) then the cat would stay away, as staring wide-eyed to a cat is a challenge.

>>Very recently, in a zoo a gorilla escaped from his ground and esp (!) attacked a woman. She was bitten 50 times and had many broken bones. She was a regular visitor of this gorilla (named Bokito) and thought they had a special bond. She always smiled to him and he showed her his teeth. She thought he liked her and he thought she challenged him!

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
