your persistent presumption of bad faith on my part is indeed a problem (especially when the paranoia surfaces).

FTR: My "paranoia" consists of two observations:

  1. When your heart is in a subject, your arguments do not need to rely upon straw men and contrived examples.

    You certainly do not need to poison the well with emotive terms like 'hate'.

  2. You historically have the habit of acting as Devil's Advocate in threads you perceive to be one-sided.

    If memory serves, there is a post of yours around here where you state as much.

Those led to my doubts as to the strength of your conviction on the subject; not any presumption of "bad faith".

However, your response to my de-emphasised, parenthetical expression of that doubt just confirms it.
