Thanks Rog but I'm not a wearer of schtick stick.

There's really nothing "passive aggressive" in my post. I was explaining that you'd informed me you'd be "disengaging"/ leaving. I wanted other participants to know you'd removed yourself in case they pondered at you not having followed up.
The fact that you communicated via private message, that you started out suggesting it was a discussion but turned it into written sophistry was stated and that you didn't want to exchange views was offered as it was, in my mind, in line with the vibe of your posted opinion.
I don't care enough about your comment to adopt a passive aggressive approach.
Perhaps "passive aggression" is your assumption of any person who challenges your opinion. I don't know - that's just a guess not an assumption.
Personally I disagreed with your opinion, & you with mine.
I can take that sort of knock.
It doesn't wound me enough to disengage to the level you suggested you would.

Virtue signalling...isn't that the pejorative replaced by woke in the post Trump era?
It had a lot of currency but lacked veracity.
