You say I can't discuss in a civilized manner, then proceed to insult me? Wow. You also refuse to respond to inquiries and instead say "that's for another topic" as a deflection. Yes, I do demand you stay on topic. That's how civilized discourse works. You don't say something then move on to a new topic when you recognize you're losing. You stay on point until it is resolved; only then does one move on. People who speak from a position of ignorance do tend to upset me. I wish they would educate themselves before speaking, instead of foolishly offering their rather inept opinions without justification and expecting their opponent to allow such nonsense without challenge. It is not my fault your position is built upon a fragile foundation easily shaken by the tiniest of criticisms. Perhaps solidify your position before entering into debate, or at the very least...don't tell me it's true. |
Do I insult you in every post? I felt the need to call you out. Your hostile attitude is tiresome, I need to address that for everyone to see.
I do not refuse to respond to inquires. How many times do I have to explain that? If I appear to deflect, it is for a good reason: for clairty's sake or because of a misunderstanding, or for timing or some other reason. These discussions are complex. Misunderstandings happen easily. Look at the length of these posts at the end of this thread! On top of that I am a foreigner, it takes much longer and much more energy to write a post, explain something or express something than it does for native English people.
You constantly feel the urge to categorize your opponent, call him names. Stop trying to paint me into a box. It's pathetic. You play a dirty game making these claims about your opponents.
"oh, look how the theist deflects", "look how he hit and runs", "look how he is delusional". "look how he changes topic when he is losing the argument". "oh, look he is ignorant", "he is irrational", "he shouldn't discuss", "I feel utter disrespect and discontempt for such people" "look like he is resorting to insults when he is losing argument".
Trying to win a discussion by carrying the opponent in the dirt. Constant name calling. Those accusations and descriptions are unnecessary and incorrect. It's cheap behaviour.
If you are such a superior intellect, why do you have to resort to such low behaviour?
Don't you pretend for a second that I don't know your type and the psychology of your mind. You are a cliché.
In Swedish there's a term for being "objective" in discussions. Unfortunately I can't find a single, corresponding word in English but it means that in serious discussions you are expected to stay on topic not just formally, but in all respects. If you make snide remarks and sneaky insults your are not on topic, you are not objective in a discussion.
