"I didn't a word about caring or not caring. You made that up out of whole cloth"

I did not make anything up.

Nowhere did I say you used the word "caring". I said that what you were "really" saying (IMO) was that you did not care. I reached that interpretation by reading your post carefully and by staying in touch with the feelings which it suggested to me. You sound really angry that I penetrated to the truth of it! Or are you becoming angry that YOU are finally penetrating to the truth of it??

"You started all this with a straw man, stating "So your idea that your position satisfies the opinion of anyone other than yourself is baseless.""

You can be so dense, can't you? Don't answer that, please...<g> You said:

"I have made my position clear. You don't agree with it, but you have nothing but your own opinion to offer to refute the accuracy and reasonableness of my position

Now are you too dense to see that your stating that your idea is "accurate" and "reasonable" entails that it is a position which would satify the opinion of other reasonable people?? How dense can you be, Christopher?? Uh...don't answer that, please...<g>

"But I'm too ethical to let you get away with it."

No. You are just to STUPID to quit when you are being lapped repeatedly!

"(With apologies to midgets everywhere.)"

See. You can make apologies! With practice you will learn to make them sincere and thoughtful...;-)
