You continue to mischaracterize my opinions and intentions despite my insistence you are incorrect. I therefore choose to refuse to respond to you until you're willing to engage in rational discussion. Thank you.
I am amused by the words "despite my insistence you are incorrect". Maybe George would like to hold a contrary insistence. I don't see how the ability to shout more stubbornly can be taken as evidence in support of your position.

C'mon Ray. Isn't Durin the sole authority on his own opinions and intentions?

Well, actually, no. People (myself clearly included) have a remarkable ability to either self-justify or delude ourselves as to how our internal understanding of events and our actions maps to what everyone else sees and percieves.
Listening in to what feedback others are giving about how they percieve our actions is an important safety fuse about whether our internalizations have gotten significantly out of sync with what we're presenting to everyone else.
All of that said, regarding Durin specifically, I call it like I see it, but I have no intention of bludgeoning him or the conversation with my interpretation of what it looked to me like he was doing. My apologies (to Durin and everyone else) if it's come across as rude. There's no benefit to the conversation or either of us in continuing that point now, I think.
