Alrighty then, let me step in and do a little modding. I don't do much so every once in a while I have to earn my pay check...
@"Kammrath" and @"mavsluvr", check out the posts of your fellow forum folk toward the end of this thread. The people have spoken. They all love both of you so much that it is ok that you don't love each other.
Please, let these two posts quoted here be the end. Both be the bigger man and resist the need to get the last word.
Or, if you need to continue, you can sort it out via pm and become best friends.
Again, the people have spoken. Each of you, for the forum, please, for Dirk, reply to everyone else, and don't reply to each other!

Anyone can go back at look at the long history of you twisting my arguments (misrepresenting my positions and me repeatedly identifying that fact) and turning them into straw-men for you to ridicule and make fun of. No one else interacts that way on this board. You have done it with me on Nov 14, Nov 11, Nov 8, Nov 3, Aug 25, as just a few examples that my search brought up. You also did it with @"cow" on Dec 4 as an example of it happening with someone else.
I asked you for the SECOND time back on Nov 11, 2021 (literally months ago) to ignore me and leave me alone.
I asked you on Jan 4, 2022 to ignore me for the THIRD time.
Now on Jan 5, 2022 I am asking you for the FOURTH time to ignore me and leave me alone.
I find your interactions with me to be narcissistic, condescending, filled with gaslighting, and lacking in respect, again almost all centered around not engaging with my actual arguments and positions but twisting them into something they are not. I am not saying this is done with everyone (and with most posters you are great and respectful in your interactions and add a lot to this board). But the way I am interacted with, especially going back to November (though a couple times before that as well) are not something I am willing to put up with and it is not acceptable.
My plea has been this: Interact with me with respect or do not interact with me. Sadly I do not think the first can happen, so I am asking you to leave me alone. A simple request, please honor it.

I am glad this is an anonymous forum, because I might otherwise be a little concerned about stalking or something. Whatever I said to disturb him, I am certain I never talked to him like he just did to me. I will try extra hard to continue being polite to him, but I also hope he can pull back and try to get a little perspective on this situation. It's just an internet message board, dude.
