Doesn't that mean your reply now contradicts your own suggestion?
Anyways, I find it really funny how debate takes on this aura of "No one shall pass!" when someone accuses someone else of bad intentions. I believe very, very strongly in the idea that debate should never be summarily ended in this manner. In my experience these claims come as a shield for people who are simply unwilling to think through the ideas. Anyone is free to withdraw, or discontinue, but there is no justification for silencing someone else. Hence I reject your suggestion to "drop this conversation", just on principle, even though I basically know where you're coming from.
Drop this coversation with Alicorn. You can and should continue elsewhere, with other interested parties, and if necessary you should post a wrapup to conclude any dangling threads.
If someone exits a conversation, that is their choice. But on an internet forum, there is no reason that others shouldn't reply to them, or continue to make points in response. They don't have to respond.
So your response to my question, how do I tap out, would be, "You can't! We're going to continue to pound you into the ground, even and especially if you're not defending yourself." ?
