    I agree that you have great points on how to communicate with people willing to learn, but unfortunately many people like Fizz here are entirely unwilling to learn even if we are to be as kind and understanding as possible.

      My point is that this could work to pierce the programming which makes people unwilling to learn. Two years ago I might have reacted to what you’re saying just the same as Fizz does today. What helped chip away at my programming is the sort of explanations that take what I understood already. Also the audience isn’t Fizz alone but also the multitude who only read the discussions. I’m only saying this because you’re spending a lot of time and effort to talk to people already. Not because I have the right to demand more work. 😄

          I am smiling, reading through this thread, remembering when I first came, and the good people of .ml calmly, patiently meeting my assertions with kindness, patience, facts and simple questions that caused me to stop and think deeply, sometimes for days. Also reading material and videos. Especially Parenti videos,

                  Absolutely the whole community has been amazing to me. Just noting you were the one that got me to watch Parenti.
