I didn't say you were wrong did I? I appreciate the trickery, but it was intentionally misleading and just derailed the discussion.

You paint some pretty negative intentions behind statements made by people you disagree with. I considered the question and answered honestly. Again, should I just go ahead and lie?

Wow. Pretend you are black for minute. Then re-ask that same question.

Isolated 101.

Nobody. Cares.

Leave it up to Chula to take a question aimed at understanding someones position and turning it upside down. *thumbs up*

Just being honest. I thought given the context of the discussion you knew the type of joke i was referring to. If you say you were not being intentionally misleading, okay i was wrong to assume.

Im well aware of how it can be received and not at all concerned about it. Perception is not truth.

Sorry for trying to get involved in the discussion. I'm clearly outmatched.

I'm obviously never going to get invited into this circle jerk. I'm too old and dense.

Carry on.

You're the same age as ****ing Occult Hawk and he's still generally better received in intellectual discussions. Maybe it's you.

But yeah you're denser than lead no doubt.

I'd like it if you (and others) were involved in more discussions, but you just completely took my question out of context and now you're getting defensive. "Wow" is not a contribution to the discussion and I did respond to the latter portion of your response.

The topics in this section are always controversial, and I understand that it's hard to convey a point via text all the time. As witnessed in this thread, I'm definitely not always clear. I just want people to make their best efforts to avoid fallacies and emotion. We've had some pretty good discussions lately that haven't devolved into flaming like they used to.
