What are these forums for if not for debate? Are participants supposed to accept things uncritically? That's not rationallity where I come from.

Way to conflate three entirely different things to suggest various deniable conclusions.

Asking a number of separate questions is not conflation. If you are not going to answer questions, I can only draw whatever conclusions I can from your silence.

Are the LW forums for debate, or not?

In other words, you admit to being a troll. Thanks for clarifying that.

Dropping out of a debate with questions unanswered and points unmet can make you look irrational -- but of course you don't have to engage with someone Innately Evill, do you?

Congratulations on at least not being an immediately obvious one; I originally mistook you for an educable

Again. you have this absolutely rigid idea that I (? everybody?) can only possibly be a learner (agreer? disciple?) here, although you actually know nothing about me, and therefore have no idea what I might have to teach. But having labelled me Innately Evil, that's never going to change. There is no fact of the matter that I am the learner and you the teacher; instead, just a bunch of stop signs in your mind.
