Even though that's not the case, I'm okay with that. There are only so many times I'm interested in going back and forth in a thread that was not designed for that.

The one thing I will say is that I really don't know how you expected me to interpret your "speaks volumes" line in any other way, considering the tone of the rest of your message. I'm sure you will say I failed to read carefully, but I think most people reading this thread would see it the same as I did. Since you say you didn't mean it in a negative manner, I will assume that's the truth and we can be finished with this conversation.

I'm happy leaving this thread to die so hopefully you will do the same.

Sorry, but I just need to point out that rather than acknowledge that you misquoted/misattributed things I wrote to support your argument, you simply say you don't agree with me. Irrespective of whether I am a good or bad debater, that's just disrespectful. You should have taken back your accusations that were made based on false representation of what I wrote.

Beyond that, I'm finished.
