Sure, plenty of times I have an opinion on something and don't say anything... well in real life anyway... online's more anonymous and stuff so I don't do that as much online. Not here, anyway.
Not saying something isn't a horrible sin... its just irritating when you know people could contribute to the conversation/argument... this one doesn't exactly qualify for THAT, though. Its not going anywhere... note how we have done nothing but repeat arguments for about 8 pages now? So I could understand leaving in boredom or annoyance or something... it is getting tiring repeating myself...
As for changing anyone's mind I'm not delusional... as I said in page one noone in THIS debate will ever move an inch.
I'm just defending my position... don't want to let the other side win the argument! You don't seem to care to argue, but I do... why do you have some huge aversion to really defending your beliefs or something? Quitting when it gets tough doesn't really count...
Though, I will say something. It seems that often you don't actually quit. You say "I'm quitting!" ... and are back later... what is it, a negociating tactic to get us to give up? :)
Oh, and if you think your side is trying and less hard than we are to change minds you are crazy. Though I'm sure everyone knows it'll never happen.
