I'm ok with that, as long as my point is clear. What I might react disproportionally is when someone is opposing my point without hearing it out, or not understanding what I'm trying to say. (And, probably, sometimes when I'm not understanding what they are saying ... ) I might be nitpicking sometimes ... well, often ... but I'm not going for controversy just for the controversy. Also, I'm never pretending to have opinion I don't actually have just because it gets "better" reaction that the opinion I actually have, or for any other reason. (Not counting cases where I preface sentence with something like "Playing devil advocate" ... I hope THOSE are clear.) However, I don't think I can convince you about this. Either you would believe me or not. Thank you.

Sam in spaceship ... definitely risky situation. QED.

AH, that's fair. I saw the EU tag, guess I should have connected those dots. Thanks.

I want to be fair here -- and please note, I am not saying this wearing my moderator hat -- I don't think @hkmaly is deliberately trolling. English is not their first language and often problems can be traced to a communications tangle. Oral notation notwithstanding, I usually enjoy hkmaly's comments. My own bad temper at times gets the better of me and people tend to tolerate me in spite of that; I feel it behooves me to show some patience in turn when I am able to.

Sam in command of spaceship is certainly risky.

The foam rubber isn't helping. My knee is too badly damaged. I never really have pain from it when I'm standing or walking, so this comes as a bit of a surprise. I mean, I've never been able to put weight on my knees, but I didn't know how pinpoint the pain was—or at least, I'd forgotten. My last diagnosis was back in 2010. But this is incredibly bad. I may give up trying to use the knee-scooter altogether because of the pain. Time to see a knee doctor, I guess.
