Then why do you continue to respond if they are so annoying? I'm well aware some people do not like how I write my posts, however, it's childish to ignore them simply because they're written in a way you don't like. I don't see why you bother to debate if you decide whether or not to respond to what someone has said based only on their writing style, not on what their response actually contains.

Did you mean to say that they do want to gain power instead of not gain? If not, then what are they competing for?
