This isn't a debate at all. Show me one single logical argument, even from me! It's just saying "yes it is" "no it isn't" "yes it is" over and over with not a single shred of intelligent discussion. Why should I stay in this argument with not a bit of "debate" to it? Get a little bit better at this whole debating thing, totally leaving yourself out of it (meaning, no "I should know" or "I'm more qualified to know this so just trust me") for example, and I'll stay. I kinda doubt that'll happen though. You know, when I posted the "rules of debate", they all reflect you and ABF.
This whole idiotic idea that leaving a debate is somehow an act of cowardice is caveman talk. "Only a fool takes up a fool's argument" after all.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
