Baiting, blaming, riling up total strangers,
and following a pattern of
unwarranted and exaggerated criticism,
twisting words, sluring, making demeaning comments
none of these qualify as

"holding up opinions to scrutiny."

As Margaret Thatcher once said -

"... if they attack one personally, it means
they have not a single political argument left."

In any case I shall repeat what I stated earlier.

1) I do not wish to inter-act with you.

2) What you have to say is of no interest to me.

3) Addressing posts to me is a waste of your time.

If you think this is some sort of a ploy. It's not.
If you don't understand what I am saying - ask the
moderator to explain it to you.

Nope. This forum doesn't say that I'm required to
talk to you.

Still more poisoning the well :(

BTT, where you had some simple questions put to you that you obviously have no answers for.

Poisoning the well?

Take a good look at your posting record.

To actively seek out actual people to
demean is beyond poisoning the well.
That's cyberbullying.

I can't answer questions in posts I choose
not to read.
