I showed you how you are intellectually dishonest and you dismissed it.
I didn't dismiss it, actually- I came right out and showed you why you were incorrect. That's not a dismissal, sorry to say.
. Nothing is learned, nothing is gained and the overall tone of the community has suffered because so much time is spent trying to tell you that it is, in fact, a logical inconsistency to think that crossing a border one way sans any claims of religious persecution is in fact the same action as crossing the border the other way sans any claim of religious persecution.
That you have spun disagreement into a "suffered" tone means that perhaps communities that have multiple points of view are not for you? The problem may, in fact, be with those who cannot fathom that people believe things they themselves do not.
You can call me a liar all you want and you can put other considerations into play but you make the terms of honest engagement with you impossible.
If "honest engagement" = "agree with what I say" then fine.
I'll probably go back to ignoring you but if everyone who is sick to death of your style of debate has no choice but to ignore you or be banned, that's gonna be an interesting prospect, don't you think?
I never threatened a ban, and I could never do that unilaterally even if I wanted to, and I do not. What I *am* saying is that your unproductive, borderline-trollish responses do not do yourself any favors, and may not reflect well on you in the future. You're better off ignoring me and anyone you cannot play nice with.
And this really is my last word on this today. Do what you have to do as a mod but as of right now, I am ignoring you. Sound good?
Do some introspective thinking of your own before throwing stones in the future.
