   So you were trying to make me make a point that wasn’t lost on you anyway?

You started the game; I was just playing along.

Ah. So finally you admit that debates are just a game for you. By the way, the point I was making (remember that? the one you still haven’t answered?) was a serious comment about your post, what game did you think I was playing?

  
   Why not just answer the point with some evidence instead of wasting everyone’s time?

“Wasting everyone’s time”??? Are you serious? The only time wasted is MINE every time I get into some insipid MPesque argument with YOU!

It wouldn’t be an argument if you’d just posted something to back up your assertion. But surprise, surprise, you haven’t yet.

   If it’s YOUR time you are worried about, DON”T RESPOND.

Ditto!

   For everyone else, it’s probably entertainment:-)

Hey, I never said I didn’t find it entertaining :)

  
  
  
   Do you actually have anything to backup your assertion? If so, why not post it here, like Dave did?

Better yet, who asked you in the first place?

You did. By posting an assertion publicly with nothing to back it up.

Well, in a public forum, I responded to Dave! This may come as a shock, but everytime I post in a public forum is NOT a personal invitation to you to respond.

Then why did you post this, or this, or even this? It may come as a shock, but posting in a public forum invites a response from anyone who reads it, no matter who you reply to.

But now that we’ve ascertained you were just playing a game and not seriously debating, I’m happy to accept your assertion for what it is, just a silly throw-away comment that had no bearing on the debate.

(...) No, Ross. What I admit is that for me, interchanges with you in particular most often are games. (...) The manner in which you engaged me. (...) What kind of evidence would suffice for you?
