Why should I be rebutting you? A comment is not a rebuttal. A rebuttal implies I'm trying to convince you, or someone else, you're wrong. My remarks were directed to Robert who already knows you're wrong. You're free to comment on my remarks, of course, or even to rebut them, but this is still not a debate.
Face it, TB, we were raised on different planets. The only difference is I've spent half my life on yours, and you've never been to mine.
And I do think I see the problem here. You really see this as a duel, I see it more as a duet, or perhaps the dialog between tabla and sitar. I can't debate you on politics any more than I can debate Lindy on psychic phenomena.
