I do. (And I will again, if it keeps going.) I foolishly thought that I
might appeal to reason, and see if off-topic.debate can be worth my while
again, instead of being sucked up by the Scott & Larry show.

I have, and I am. From where I'm setting, you two appear to be:
a) *always* going at it
b) *never* getting anywhere
c) digging in your positions
d) *constantly* saying or implying that it's the other one who's "not
getting it".
e) refusing to quit first.
Without commenting (or caring!) about who is right, or who is a better
debater, it *IS* both of your faults, in equal measure, that you keep going
at it.
That's how it looks from the bleachers, boys.
