You may certainly have the last word, TC, I don’t enjoy your histrionics or mischaracterizations of what I say. It is not helpful and I don’t deserve it. I have made my positions clear. If you don’t like them, that is your business.
Histrionics? You know, it’s very difficult to convey a light sarcastic mood on the Internet. Even so, I don’t think that’s the right word for what I’ve posted.
As for mischaracterizations, of course you’d say that. I might feel the same way, though I won’t go complaining about it. In a way all argumentation involves muscharacterization, for we want to pin the other guy down and make him sit still exactly where we think they’re wrong. But the other guy can always shift ground, even when cornered. And of course they never get to say what they really mean, as none of us do.
“I made my positions clear.If you don’t like them, that is your business.”
If I don’t like them I argue with them. That’s much of the point of these forums. You don’t have to go on arguing forever. But a “that’s your business” attitude is remarkably blockheaded.
