I can, based on observations and other factors, speculate as to the
chances of the existence of extraterrestrial life. I can suspect that
there is/is not extraterrestrial life. Based on the evidence you've
contributed I've formed an opinion and a supposition.
You have chosen to criticize me, rather than the facts I propose.
This is the end of our conversation.
I did not criticize you. I made observations that were critical of your
approach.
You *may* be right about "progress bars/dots" being of no value. I only
observed that you chose to use sarcasm to debase a fellow poster in your
attempt to prove your assertion . I merely pointed out that in many
cases that turns people off and they may summarily dismiss what you have
to say.
I also find it "interesting" (some may term it hypocritical) that you've
chosen to conclude with "This is the end of our conversation" and take
issue with poc's "We're done here".
