you conveniently side-stepped the question of whether you think mischaracterizing someones statements, or blastantly lying about them, was rude. Can we infer from your refusal to answer that question means you that you do not think so?

Since it didn't apply to my comments to you, which I stand behind, that your rude condescension reduces whatever value your content may contain, I didn't address it.

“Since it didn’t apply to my comments to you, which I stand behind, that your rude condescension reduces whatever value your content may contain, I didn’t address it.”

Correct, you did not address THAT act of rudeness, which I think answers what I asked in the last post quite clearly, and proves the point. You ignore an even greater act of rudeness by some, to focus on a petty thing which you CLAIM is rude (even though your own sources contradict it). That in itself is proof that you are not so concerned about the act of rudeness you imagine... but rather are attempting to marginalize the content. If the fact that I have to explain such an obvious truth to means I am condescending, then fine. It could also mean I am having to explain something to someone who has less mental capacity, such as explaining a truth to a child.

Do you really wish to continue playing this game? Or are you going to continue to try to struggle against the tarbaby you are stuck to and get yourself stuck even more?
