Jabba,
Did you not read this?
- No.
So you think that "effective debate" consists of simply not reading your interlocutors responses? Really?
Good luck finding the next LCP. Nobody will volunteer you will simply glom onto somebody, anybody as the only person to whom you will respond and ignore their responses to you. Again.
Most here have been part of such rodeos in the past, and those here present who may not have, have had their rodeo baptism of fire.
It takes some bottle to stand up in public and admit that you simply are not reading the thread at all, not even SOdhner's posts. And you simply do not care. How is "effective debate" supposed to work if it is acceptable to not even read responses from one's interlocutors? How is that a debate at all?
Do you somehow think this is acceptable?
I would ask for an apology, but I know from years of experience with your shenanigans that none will be offered. At best, we can expect an excuse dressed as an apology. Possibly the return of the "befuddled old man" routine.
At this point, Jabba, Why would you expect anyone to put any effort into responding to your wild claims when it is quite clear that you will not read the response anyway? You have admitted that you do not.
How would this "effective debate" proceed if, as is your policy, to not read responses, or even as you claimed only the first line of responses?
As an experiment, how about I treat your posts that way? Would that be acceptable to you?
ETA: Note, while I asked you, you asked nobody if such was acceptable in "effective debate".
