nobody is doing that.
when people are uncomfortable with dogma presented, such as the dogma in the opening post of this thread, or the dogma in in threads like "The Ten Opinions" we post our thoughtful and considered responses.

And this is a good thing! A "thoughtful and considered response" I mean.

This and perhaps commenting more specifically about the topic or title of the thread, with substance rather than just disapproving and peanut-toss comments, all too often in one thread about another thread, as if the sole purpose is to be stubbornly annoying wherever possible. Talk about dogma!

If your typical comment above is a "thoughtful and considered response," then we've got a new low bar impossible not to improve upon!

More in keeping with the topic of this thread, I suspect the odds of expecting better from you and some others in this forum are about as good as hitting the same number three consecutive times on the roulette table. Don't expect you to understand this either, but surely you can do better. At least try.

No. Never mind. I know a bet I should never make when I see one...
