[Running On Empty]

I did not admit defeat.

I refused to engage. There is a great difference.

I don’t consider what should be a civil discussion as a game to be played with winners and losers and gotchas.

I did not lose anything.

Your advice to me is unsolicited, unwarranted and unwelcome.

And this is my one and only reply to you.

There won’t be any other.

Nothing else is necessary.

No, you did not refuse to engage, as there was no debate, but you refused to answer the questions.

That is essentially admitting defeat, not refusing to engage.

Answering questions is not *engaging*. It's simply answering questions.
