I have to say, you've pretty much reached the end of my patience. I'm willing to have people post things here I disagree with, or even object to, as part of an open and sincere debate, I like having my assumptions questioned. But from this and our previous conversation I can see that you're not interested in a real discussion: instead of tackling my actual points you debunk straw versions (badly) and try to wiggle out of any points of yours I debunk by changing the subject and trying to distract me with random annoying tangents. I saw plenty of this sort of passive aggressive trolling when I was a forum moderator and I have very little patience for it here on my personal lj.
If it was just me I wouldn't mind so much, but I don't like seeing innocent commenters being drawn into frustrating "debates". So: stop it. Either engage in the discussion on this lj in a positive and sincere fashion (and it would take some pretty unambiguous signs of good faith on your part before I took you seriously in this respect), or stop commenting.
