Plus, any time I wasn't actually responding or reading responses, I was still thinking about the thread. I require concentration for my job, and I couldn't concentrate at all when I was in those discussions. While I appreciate Prof. S's time he takes to respond, I can't keep up with it.
Mana, you've always taken the time to reply at least once to points and I've always assumed that you stop posting because you have said your piece. My issue was when Xantar posted some questionably sourced material, much of which was guilty of poor research or lies of omission, and then at the end stating that he would not read or respond to anything said. That is not discourse.

Honestly, Xanny, if you don't have the time to discuss your points, don't bother spending so much time writing the opinions in the first place, especially when you cite things that have known contradictory evidence. I don't completely buy your explanation of your "I'll reply to this in paragraphs and ignore your response" posting, I'm sorry to say.
