You’re imagining me as some amalgamation of other users you’ve interacted with here, and probably a good measure of whole-cloth assumptions besides. You wrote a huge post addressed to these assumptions instead of me, yet you accused me of a disinterest in conversation. You seem to have come down from your self-righteous indignation a bit, but you’re still having a conversation with a phantom of your own creation. When I said ‘listen more, and talk less’, I didn’t just mean listen to me. It’s good, general advise. Take it or leave it.
