papertyger: "I see no need to 'get on with the discussion' as doing so with such as you is always ultimately fruitless. "

That's my option B = "...once your list of insults is exhausted, you've nothing left to offer".

So, have a great day and Merry Christmas, FRiend.

My “list of insults,” as it has for twenty years now, grows or shrinks according to the behavior of my opponent. Specifically, the tactics, diversions, and modification of previous statements used to avoid acknowledging refutation and/or severe flaws demonstrated in proffered opinions.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion; they are NOT entitled to have said opinion RESPECTED unless it conforms to the standards of logic, reason, and probability.

Indeed, offering opinion in a public forum that DOES NOT conform to those standards is INVITING insult and abuse.
