Ohhhhhh nooooooooooo

I read your words and felt an almost debilitating weariness descened like a boulder on my shoulders. No matter what anybody says to you, your response is always some variation of "words mean what I want them to mean. So there!". It's hard to know what you mean by "side issues" when apparently everything is a side issue to you--when you get nowhere in one aspect of the debate, you switch a different angle. The problem is, there are no more angles, and you're just rotating through the same tired arguments. Sorry, but I've given up on you.

However, I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge that you volunteered to fight the battle, in contrast to Gary, who ran away. You may be completely wrong, but I have to say you do have guts. Thank you for engaging instead of hiding.
