no need to go there

Actually there is. It is for rhetorical effect. I have a lot of experience debating these "trolls" {did it again). They attempt to avoid fact and logic while casting moral dudgeon on folks they know nothing about as if they are uniquely attuned to the voice of God. So, you ridicule them, call them names, insult their manhood, and say foul things about their slovenly arguments to enrage them and draw them out, like a picador in a bull fight. Then they charge at the silly red flag and you can have your way with them.

I am quite prepared for an extended argument, one that they will forever attempt to evade - like they are here - until they are drawn into it.

No, I do not for a minute confuse rhetorical devices for good argument. But THEY do, and I am not averse to employing these devices to get them to make a point that one can then debate and then get them actually to debate the point.

To: AndyJackson; little jeremiah
NO, your response to little jeramiah was not necessary, lj is no troll. She just has an honest disagreement with you.

Now as for a few others on this thread, well, you are certainly right about that.
