Sorry to hear he is still disappeared!

I do love that photo you selected of his, Chrys!
You can see his little ears, his little paws, his little eyes (sort of)
and no mouth! That is so good! You don't have to think about kissing on the mouth, but just about petting and hugging! Welcome relief!

Hmm... you're rather unbending. You're suspicious of anything that doesn't fit neatly into the box you have for it, and you try to control the conversation whenever we're discussing something. I really don't like it when I think someone's trying to control me.

I kept thinking about this
how can I control anyone here at tol?
I am just a poster who asks questions
the only way I could possibly control anyone here is with reason and logic
so
I can only conclude
you don't want to be controlled by reason and logic

She didn't say you controlled anyone. She said you try to control the conversation. Mostly you do it like that, with an inference moved ever so slightly but importantly off center. It's a great way to get people who have a point to make too busy correcting your approach to manage it, unless they realize what the game is with you.

I agree. And, "Do you still beat your wife?" is only a question too, isn't it.

The really funny part of that was that you assumed/concluded a thing undemonstrated by either.

She didn't say you controlled anyone.

but
I do have some control over you

all I have to do is ask anna a tough question
and
I get you to answer it

the opposite is also true
but
I am not sure who I will get

sometimes it is rusha, bybee, art, etc

No. Unless you have a peculiar notion of conversation. Maybe you should start asking yourself why that's important to you.

Because someone answering a point not directly addressed to them in an internet forum chat room is so unusual and contrary to its purpose? :rolleyes:

Anna is easily capable of answering you. My answer is there because I felt like addressing the points.

much of what you say is true as always
but
it ignores history
it ignores patterns
and
it is my job to point that stuff out
