An interesting discussion...
with regards to my behaviour in the 2.08 discussions:

I wonder... was I a bully? My arguing was *not* about asserting power... but I *was* very, very certain of being right. And I did challenge people to provide proof of some kind for the validity of their reading, and grew frustrated when they wouldn't.
ETA: Or *is* it essentially about power when I'm so convinced that I'm right, and invested in making people *see* that I'm right? I mean, why should I *care* if people agree with me? (ETA2: But then, why am I not the same way in other contexts?)
