By 'new' I mean a different or at least slightly different approach or way of communicating the same sentiment. I do not ask for you to change your opinions or views. I, however, I am always interested in seeing strong and persuasive arguments, b…
(Quote)No, not all. I was simply hoping for something new and more persuasive from you.
One, the issue this time wasn't the exactly the same as last time, so I a little surprised to see that you simply pasted verbatim what you had alrea…I have no idea what you mean by keeping a level playing field, for one I did not think were playing a game, and two all can see the first time you posted them.
