Since I already gave examples and explained, it is obvious that you refuse to actually _listen_ to others in this "interesting discussion". And if it were not bad enough that you don't listen to others _at_ _all_, your monologues do not even contain coherent arguments, but are just an enumeration of unsupported statements, propaganda and wild ramblings. Not only do you _ignore_ the others in the discussion, you do not contribute anything substantial enough to be actually worth considering. -- David Kastrup
