No.. If I had to characterize styles of posting I would say that many of 
those that continually post over and over without getting anywhere, and 
this often includes you, act a bit like a bunch of spiders. You spin a 
very poorly designed web of opinion, then sit back and hope some poor 
fool slams into it. Only when it turns out to be another spider and the 
web breaks you both start making it an even bigger mess and doing so even 
more poorly. My own style is that of predator, watch and wait until the 
opportunity arises to pounce. Occasionally that fails and I end up having 
to sit them down and nail their foot to the floor so they pay attention 
to what I actually said, instead of what they decided to believe I meant. 
All in all, about 9 in 10 posts are useless drivel containing no 
particular substance. It is this that has garnered complaint and you are 
by no means a small contributor, in that you don't know when to withdraw 
and wait for a better opportunity to make a point.
