Well if so, to me that is just so silly and obviously untrue, it isn't worth the pixels it takes to respond.

It is like when people do the strawman thing... it is so obviously not related I can't bother to address it. (I'll read it and think "we we talking about X... but you just inserted Y and lost me" and I lose interest.)

I get that some people find verbal sparring to be fun but, ugh, not me.

I have tried in the past to have real discussions with people but then they go all snarky and nasty and make assumptions that I "mean things" I never said... and at that point the effort just ain't worth it for the minimal payoffs. Too many here have no interest in conversing in good faith so the hell with it. I am incapable of innuendo and get frustrated with people who always try to layer it into conversation.
