you seemed to use it as some sort of shield, like your digressions were your method to try and prove a point

Good lord -- I'm in so many battles arguing specific details on this forum that the accusation of "dodging" just makes my eyes roll.

Obviously I was snarking the man in several of my responses, but my frustration is that you seemed preoccupied with the snark and very little with the response.

You perhaps should ask me to *expand* to serious response? Rather than pretend nothing was there?
And of course, there is the matter of me not repeating what has already been said by sealwhiskers.


So if you really want me to specifically shoot holes in his arguments -- which at this point is just drilling down on what was already said, then fine.


But I'm in too many conversations arguing over specifics to accept the label of "dodging" very seriously. In this case could I have gone into more detail? Probably. Was it really needed when his premise was so obviously flawed? Not really.

But if you want to see blood splatter from beating the dead horse -- fine, I'll give you a show later on this weekend when I have time.
