because he just does

Well, I appreciate that, Karen. However, I don't know what "just does" means exactly. And I hope you will forgive my curiosity. I don't believe passionate motive springs from a "just does", and I would just as soon exercise that old adult option of just asking. Perhaps I am just tired or just burnt out.

Now, I do not believe a person should be held forever to the limitations of an old remark about not changing their mind. The offer to re-think ones position is not invasive, especially when it is unclear whether the position has been thought in the first place.

If you wish to characterize it as a challenge, then please accept that I can characterise your post in the same way; And I consider a challenge as an opportunity to grow, and an invitation to move ahead.

I already made it clear that my invitation to clarify his position was based on a moral desire to avoid "misunderstanding you" (him).

However, I do wish to be fair. If he tells me that he just does believe that, and that there just is no reason for it--I will be considerate enough to forego any discussion with him on this matter, or upon any other.
