Believe it or not, I am really open to you changing my opinion. (on landslide caused mega tsunamis)

Believe it or not, I was never interested in changing your opinion, such as it is, on the topic.

HOGWASH, according to all but a handful of geologists.

I beg to differ. It is hogwash.

Most scientists agree

My only interest was in getting you to stop making bald statements of unverified opinion as if they were gospel and citing "expert testimony" and "evidence" like the always reliable "most scientists." It took quite a bit of prodding to get you to actually look anything up and point to it.

I have succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. I don't buy your reasoning and I'm skeptical of your newly discovered sources, but since I don't care to pursue this any further with you, I'll just say goodbye and good luck.

I am as weary of this exchange as you are. But, however, I have not belittled your position (as you repeatedly have don with mine, including your latest post) except to point out, as I will one more time, that you do nothing to back up your position with any details. I have begged you to address details I have raised, and the best you come back with is "I don't buy your reasoning." Well, just why don't you "buy my reasoning"? It would have been nice to calmly and intelligently discuss details with you. Maybe get negative, but constructive, feedback on points that I raised. I have gone into great detail about the faults I have with Day/Wards theory, but you only broadly dismiss it. Surely, you are as bad at dismissing my arguments as you accuse me of dismissing the arguments of Day and Ward (and McGuire too... don't want to leave him out). I have accepted that you will not discuss details. I have many more points I could make, particularly regarding conclusions of the Hawaii Tsunami Conference and how they relate to Simon Day's paper on La Palma, but I accept that you are not interested in doing anything but roundly criticizing some rhetoric I used.

Good luck to you as well.
