I would have replied sooner , however your last comment took so long to come back , I had gone to bed.
lol..now this may make you laugh if you have a good sense of humor.
As you pointed out you have made over 6000 posts and comments, so I have seen you in many places. I set out with a goal.
That goal was to see if your not simply an intelligent person, but also worthy to be followed. I decided to give you the opportunity to show me this.
The test was to see how/if you could accept constructive criticism, a very good indicator to the level of maturity and enlightenment of a persons mind.
However you felt the need to "win" outweighed the importance of receiving the information at hand, with a balanced reply.
So now knowing this, and you return to my original comment, do you see it the opportunity now ?
The correct response, or a version of it, would have been, Do I ?
Thank you for bringing that "potential flaw" to my attention, I was unaware that it "may" be perceived in such a way, because I find "clarity to be so important", i do this as a means to "improve communication".
You said;
"Can you concede some may actually prefer my approach which would make it not a flaw for them at all?"
For me concede, would suggest there is something to be won/lost or wrong/right.
Constructive criticism is none of these, and requires no one to concede anything, only take the opportunity to show wisdom, which is not based in intelligence, its based in maturity and experience.
So, ask yourself, do I have a flaw ?
What do you think my decision will be about following you, after conducting this test ? @lukestokes
I accept and sincerely enjoy constructive criticism. I've already thanked you for your intentions, but I still disagree with your judgement on this issue. What you call a flaw, I think people should do more often to improve clarity of communication and wellbeing. It's not about winning or losing. We disagree on a social etiquette and from my perspective you're coming at this discussion from a position of "I'm right, you're wrong, and I'm here to enlighten you" while at the same time saying you're not making judgements.
As to my flaws, I have many. :) I'm a programmer so I try to approach the world in terms of logic, reason, efficiency, etc. My brain's reward centers fire off in ways which are... unique. I spend much of my time in front of a computer screen. Those who spend more time interacting directly with others pick up on things I do not and are more effective in many ways at interpersonal communication. I appreciate your attempts to fix an aspect of this you've perceived. And yet I still disagree on the benefit or harm of quoting people directly to ensure communication is clear.

lol..mate... you're still stuck in the test, on a brain loop.
Look, I wish you well, I really do, as i'm sure you're a good person with good intentions, so stay safe and take care, but I need someone that knows all that you do, that I would feel confidant in, who is well balanced, to follow and learn more about steemit and other things like you talk about, that doesn't take themselves so seriously...
Cheers
