"Isn't my reply addressing your question directly?:

Answer: Absolutely not.

IS the only valid answer here "I agree completely with Ray"?

Answer: LOL...obviosuly not. That is your issue as you assault EVERY single person who disagrees with you. As someone told me the other day: "Roger's problem is absolute power corrupts absolutely".

"Was your post just an excuse for you to use a fancy word like "obfuscation"?"

Answer: No...it was yet another instance of my pointing out your inability to stay on topic whether that is based in tactic or defect and how Roger must always dominate and control the discussion. While clearly it would be more productive if we reasoned and discussed and tried to learn from one another, you prefer making it about personality wars and character assassinations. You are not interested in reasoning at all. You consistently refer to yourself as a moderator, but you do not moderate, rather you control. The word moderator derives from the term moderate and you sir, fit only one definition of such as in "presides over", as in "controls". King Roger seems to think simply letting people post makes you somehow fair or moderate. I decree taht I let uyou post. While that may be one part of the equation, what you do to people who do not agree with you is actually the antitheses of moderate. Like the king who lets someone use his land but then when one speaks agaisnt him, it is "off with your head".

You do not seek proper limits or keeping things reasonable, rather attack and make more intense and you goad others into negative actions, myself included. For your benefit...see below:
