If you think I am being insulting by bring up RM2 ans SM2 short comings to your questions then I am sorry as that is not my intent, My intent is to show you its short comings so you can make your own improvements as you see fit.
As for disparaging, are you saying my comments or opinions are of little worth as to your questions and comments?

Insulting in that sense? No. But what you find as Short comings, other do not necessarily. That is a matter of Opinion and taste... not fact. Those are your opinions and these are mine.
I have appreciated your comments as they have pertained to the Topic.
I am also always amazed at how dividing up the categories and applying DP to them has throw off many players.
To this day it still just baffles me to no end.
this is this statement that comes closest to disparaging those on the other side of the RM fence.
Your preference for the category system is just that, Your preference, and your opinion that it is better.
By your statement you imply there is something wrong with the reasoning and capacity of those who don't agree with the category system.
And that is where you step wrong in discussions like these. That is where you lead a discussion towards a heated argument, where tempers flare and insults get exchanged. Fortunately I am not of that temperament.
But I am asking that you respect that it is your opinion/preference and this is our opinion/preference.
The Discussion of What a skill does or entails has nothing to do with which system we use. In the end Both systems resolve skills the same way. It is only in character creation that the difference between the two systems really bears out. And for me... as far as the discussions go.. that is just peanut shells on the floor.
