No wonder there is no substance in it."

    Let's see an answer and not a change of subject."

    Once again: Let's see an answer and not a change of subject.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      i wonder why you're so reluctant to say whether or not your quoted paragraph accurately represented the entire editorial?

      Actually, I don't wonder at all. I know exactly why you won't answer.

      Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
      But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
      Than a fool in the eyes of God

        I wont answer because you are trying to change the subject and now you are trying to throw dirt on me with insinuations instead of just answering. It does not seem to strengthen any idea of substance in your general approach.

          You were basically arguing by weblink and didn't actually present any information to discuss other than someone's opinion without any context or input of your own. We don't generally debate weblink arguments.

            I was not arguing by weblink. I was pointing to a quote I found interesting and people could read it in my post. The link was there because you need to point to the source. You don't need to use it in order to see the point.

                Which is to say that you thought the quote was representative of the larger opinion piece right?

                Which means that my dismissing the quote and the opinion piece it came from as laughable and not worth my time was the correct response, right?

                Which means you've just been hoisted by your own petard, right?

                  It takes quite many personal attacks to cover up for your need to answer a very simple question. Will we get an answer?

                      You are afraid of bringing the entire part of my post? Read it again: "I wont answer because you are trying to change the subject and now you are trying to throw dirt on me with insinuations instead of just answering. It does not seem to strengthen any idea of substance in your general approach."

                        Like I said, just posting someone's opinion is not a good debate tactic. You can do it if you want, but nobody is going to take it seriously, or respond to it, other than to make a comment back. Which is what happened.

                          But I have to wonder if my inclusion in your list suggests you are finding dishonesty in something I posted?
                          No; it was a general observation.
