My comments to you contained questions, if it is discussion that you seek to advance. If you don’t want to answer them, fine. But I’m not going to chase every rabbit that you want to throw out there instead of addressing what I’ve written.
I thought they were rhetorical; not something that I was really supposed to answer.
Repeat the ones that are real important to you, and I'll see if I am able to answer them.
If I detect the odor of a red herring, I'll let you know.
