Ignorance, is failing to contemplate opposing views, and respond to people on point who have disagreed with your take on things.

I have sought to respond to each of your arguments on point.

You have avoided discussing the issues I have raised. You did attempt to besmirch my character a number of times. When I made reference to you personally, it was limited to your personal comments about me, and how I thought they reflected on your character.

The sophomoric insults, cartoons, and quote utilization don’t pertain to the issue at hand. They are poor substitutes for actual debate, and display avoidance and an inability to dialogue rationally.

That being the case, why don’t we call it a day. Later...

I’m going to make a few general comments.

During the course of debate here, it is appropriate to disagree stridently. I expect people to disagree with me stridently. It’s part of what we do here. A subject comes up, we discuss the pros and cons. We often agree to disagree, and not always on the best of terms. Insults are exchanged, it’s part of the process. Still, within limits, this is what we do here, and that’s how we go about it.

When someone isn’t satisfied to focus on the topic, and decides to go off site to do an internet search of someone, then bring back the names of adult children, to ‘up the stakes’, it’s inappropriate and crosses the line.

I can’t respond to something posted here that has my children’s name in it. Just about any response other than an richly deserved expletive deleted would reflect on them negatively in some manner. For that reason, I will not accept someone doing it. I can only be embarrassed by my own behavior. I am never embarrassed by my children.

I love them very much.

The end.
