>I do understand you exactly because...

:-) I appreciate your post. And I thank you.

I won't respond other than to say this: I was asked back in 2014 to not discuss anything like the subject matter at hand. I didn't obey at that time, but I will now. The reason for the change?

As I've matured in my days on this Earth I've come to realize that people have been given personal authority and accountability for those things under their charge, and that authority they possess is real and means something incredibly major. They are personally accountable for those choices.

When person X or Y is the rights holder / owner of something, they determine how it should be wielded / manifested / presented in this world. The ramifications of those choices rest entirely upon them (good, bad, or indifferent). And as a fellow human being, it is my job as a guest in their "house" to honor their requests in those areas. It's one thing to approach a new situation with a statement or comment or teaching or suggestion, but when asked to be quiet, the full ramifications of that choice made in their "house" then rests solely upon them.

This responsibility we each possess to honor other people's requests whenever we're in "their house" is why I respond also to Microsoft the way I do. I disagree top-to-bottom with Microsoft's policies. But, they are law, and I honor them.

This response given to individuals and their created entities under the law (corporations), is different than how we are able to behave / move / do in public forums (like Usenet, or on the sidewalk).

So, I honor the site owner's request and I keep my posts here to the subject matter at hand, while still fully wielding and maintaining that underlying driving force which moves me in all ways in my life.
