I don't think I have a civil or any other kind of obligation to respond to your absurd questions. You distort what I've said, make a reduction ad absurdum of my statement that's nowhere close to what I said, and when I say, that's not what I said, continue to insist that's what I said and demand that I explain myself. Like saying that a robotic feeling overcomes me at the prospect of intellectual responsiveness. It's just plain nasty, snide, underhanded, and accomplishes nothing unless it makes you somehow feel what? Do you think you're scoring points? Do you have an imaginary audience going "ooo" and "ahhhh" and clapping their hands when you throw things like that at people?

I don't give you any points except, and unless, you actually advance facts germane to the discussion at hand, and accomplish the task of persuading the reader that your opinions are correct.

We were discussing the peace process in Palestine. I am trying to get you to stay on task. I think you can't quite bring yourself to the point of blaming the rock-throwing children because they were shot, but it sounds like you're blaming the parents. Is that your point?
