I found your comment lengthy, yes, but not as substantive as you did.



Is this an insult? It sure appears to be a passive aggressive insult. That would not be useful nor kind. I invite you to engage substantively.


No, I'm being sincere: you write long responses, which is fine, but they're full of abstractions, and when I tried to make one of them concrete (about patented crops), you fled back into the abstraction rather than confronting and resolving the issue into a concrete position. You're not making substantive points about the topic, just lengthy ones.


I believe you are sincere. One can be both sincere and insulting. Also, I've found your comments to be rather uncharitable and unkind. If I've come across that way to you, I apologize. I was hoping for a better conversation.
