I fear you get very little if that's the response you give.
Why yes, I gave a long discourse. The intent was to illustrate that it's a complex matter, not simply resolved. You may disagree, but if you do, you're expected to say so, and state why. Instead, you assume I claim my opinion is valid and yours is not, and avoid actually responding to what I said. |
Just to clarify...
I was not criticizing you giving a "long discourse" by any means. I actually invite any discourse, and think it's great, short or long. I regret that choice of words, and it created a mis-direction from my real intent...
I was criticizing the continued suggestions that because I gave "opinion" I was somehow invalidated. When, in fact, we are
both expressing "opinion" and (dare I say) interpretation. See the question in my previous post about the fallacy of the masses.

Interesting that you are accusing me of exactly what I was saying you were doing!
I will respond to the rest of your post presently.
