This is extreme intolerance Fjlotsdale and belittles those that discuss with you.
Have you even read all this thread? Dio had made assumptions without key information that I for one had days ago and was able to reflect on.
You may be listening, but you're not reading.

I HAVE read the whole thread, actually, Yorick!
And I was using the word 'listen' perfectly correctly. But it is, as you say, perfectly possible to listen without agreeing. I often 'listen' to what people say without agreeing.
To 'listen' means to hear the words and UNDERSTAND, whether one agrees or not.
BUT angry or hurt people do not 'listen' and 'understand' because they cannot, at that time. Oh, their HEADS may understand, but not their hearts, not their feelings. I have often understood with my head that something is correct/incorrect, but my feelings, my heart went absolutely contrary to what my head said! I'm sure you have been in that state too!
Don't jump to conclusions about what I mean so quickly, my touchy friend!
And calling me intolerant is something I will not tolerate, lol!
