Dear rehctub,

My comments were not directed at you personally.

I was speaking in general terms.

I find you to be a very tolerant, understanding,
and interesting poster, whose opinions I respect.

""I would say your part in the conversation is to accept that you at least helped educating another human, by pointing out how wrong their thinking is, and move on to your next victim.""
"I can see your point however I don't see fellow posters as victims. That is not my nature."

I thought you were a butcher?

Actually I must admit when someone does explain to me where I was going wrong with an argument or a debate I find it facinating and enjoy letting them know that I appreciated the imput. Or I get stoppy when I'm sure I am right and can't get someone else to see just how right I am.

But never quiet. That is not in my nature. Well maybe in real life where sulking can be an excellant technique but makes no sense online unless you post a message letting others know you are sulking. Catch 22.

Your wealth etc are irrelivant to the topic if your comments are genuine and not insulting. Some question simply mean that they would involve hours trying to discuss the topic meaningfully at the end of which all that would have happend would be hours spent

Sorry
Your post limit for this article has already been reached. You may only post to a particular thread 4 times in any given 24 hour window. You may post again in 13 hours.

It should read:

You were having a debate
You thoughts on this discussion have been suspended until morning. Go sleep on it and after this period of time you would have forgotten what you were saying anyway.

Excellent point that about post limitations, after 24 hours a particular point or response can lose its importance. Especially if responding to a heckler.

Unlike a live conversation it is not necessarily agreement that stops a thread. Usually I have said all I want to say on the subject, sometimes I will make myself clear that I have stopped contributions, sometimes not. Silence does not always mean agreement it can mean a wish to avoid further escalating argument. I always remain confident that the discerning reader can make their own minds up as to who has made a genuine effort to construct a debate and who hasn't.

To egg-plant haters, you do realise that aubergines have to be cooked? Preferably with olive oil and garlic, after roasting the skin off over a gas flame, then mashed onto fresh crusty bread. Yum
