Hey BeetleB, I hear you. It sounds like you are engaged in the conversation in good faith and are trying to understand why your communications are being downvoted while others are not. I can't say for certain why your comments have been downvoted while others haven't, but I can make a conjecture. Peter Drucker said "communication is perception." That has stuck with me. Why might this matter here? If an initial comment you made rubbed anyone the wrong way, then the rest of your comments in this thread are likely to be perceived negatively. This could be compounded by political preferences and group psychology. Again, I'm just making a conjecture here as I didn't want to leave you hanging. I drew on Drucker's thoughts on communications from his original 1973 publication of Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, and Practices. I uploaded the relevant pages to an Imgur album if you would like to read them. https://imgur.com/a/SYsuFu0 https://imgur.com/a/SYsuFu0
