Just to clarify...
Are you (kinda) asking if it would be logical for someone to answer both the following questions with a 'No':
Are you willing to do it?
Are you unwilling to do it?
Are you asking if there is a third state of 'willing'?

In other words, is it your position that there are four possible outcomes:
1.willing & able - reply made
2.not[willing] but able - reply not made = Spock's "unwilling"
3.willing but not[able] - reply not made = Spock's "unable"
4.not[willing] & not[able] - reply not made = both
Yes true, this is my position. Actually only two but I understand your meaning concerning the opposites
Which 2 outcomes do you not consider possible?

You specifically said "Actually only two" out of a list of four.
Which of the list of four are not included in your "Actually only two"?

Re: Stage 1: understanding Dawn Bertot's position
Maybe it would help if you asked Dawn to supply his own definition of 'respond'?
From that you may be able to see why he insists on there being two parties to a response.
Although RADZ provided a definition of 'able', 'willing' and 'respond' in Message 26 , Dawn only acknowledged the definition of 'able' (and implied an acceptance of the definition of 'willing'.)

You specifically said "Actually only two" out of a list of four.

Dawn Bertot writes:
You do understand that Unwilling and Willing are essentially the samething, correct? unwilling is the opposite end of willing, just on the other end.
'Left' and 'right' are essentially the same thing? Well - I suggest you avoid using a road-map.
There is an easy way to see if 'unwilling' and 'willing' are the same: compare them.
If they mean the same thing: they are the same.
Is 'unwilling' a synonym for 'willing'? No.
Therefore they are not the same. QED.
Dawn Bertot writes:
If you wish to make them the something different in your mind, then so be it. but that is the only place they will be two different things
...and also in dictionaries and in common English usage.
They are only the same in your head.

Not that busy: it only took 5 minutes to find a page of your insults.
You are frequently rude and insulting.
I think you use it to distract people from your ignorance - Ha Ha, just kidding.

Now if you would spend as much time in forming actual arguments, you might come off as an adequate debater.
I guess from your past performances, your talents (if I may use that term), lie else where
Thanks for those.
I'll add them to the list.
I am sure your god is proud of you - Ha Ha, just kidding.
I am certain he isn't.

Just to be clear: that was not a list of all your insults, jibes and sarcasm.
That was a tiny sub-set of your insults, jibes and sarcasm.
I only listed the insults that had the word 'kidding' in them.
There is not enough time in the day to produce a complete list of your insults.

I suppose the title of your thread and the irorny of your continual dwelling on the God question in this website and your life, is lost on a moron like yourself
If indeed God is a waste of time and space, only a ignorant moron would spend so much time talking about him.
So which are you a coward or a moron, moron?
Its not about me Moron.
No moron, I said he was a very real probabilty using any real rule of evidence, having never witnessing him
Only a tyrant and an arrogant moron would claim to have the only definition of real science, so why dont you stay out of thier buisness
Only a moron or someone void of any reasoning ability would make such an ignorant comment. which one are you?
Only a moron would suggest that Dawn needs to explain why order cannot arise through unintelligent processess.
there are no philosophical reasons, didnt you see stripes, moron
Now if you will QUIT PLAYING THE simplistic moron role and point out in a logical form why this is not valid
While all the time, moronically claiming that there is no need to know if matter is eternal to demonstrate the factual nature of evolution
No moron you cannot explain how the things of existence are here to begin with.
Just switch gears when you are talking to Jaywill and the myself, moron.
Hey wait a minute, moron I havent been in the mix for a day or so now
I guess just being British initially entitles you to be an arrogant pompous moron
Im sorry, did I fail to say before your an unobjective moron, if I did, let me say, your an unobjective moron.
Again - not a complete list.
Just a selection of insults using the word moron.
Happy now?
(If you aren't happy - I will gladly post more of your insults. There are so many!)

No I don't believe I am confusing the two. What I am saying is that you are still making a choice to either be willing or unwilling regardless of how that choice is determined. It could be by weighing the information and determining the consequences of your action or by diving tea leaves. Ultimately you are still making a choice of willing or unwilling.
I think I see what you mean and I agree.
I think that RAZD's example involving the flower was better, because there you have a response which is without a choice.
Maybe the 3rd option from 'Willing' and 'Unwilling' is 'Mindless Compulsion'?

Well that would eliminate willingness but not ability. So the logic that a given action comes down to either ability or willingness is still sound.
I didn't think we were necessarily looking to 'eliminate' aspects of this situation.
If you add mindlessly compulsed* you get:
able + willing
able + unwilling
able + compulsed
able + un-compulsed
unable + willing
unable + unwilling
unable + compulsed
unable + un-compulsed
*Yeah, yeah. It's not a 'real' word.......yet.
