Maybe you should consider the fact that your posts are long and difficult to understand before you start accusing me of strawmen. Here's a hint - if your post is longer than one entire computer screen top-to-bottom then we're not going to read all of it. And I do mean none of us.
I always read all of everyones posts especially if I am activly involved in a conversation with them. In particular I always read holmes' posts no matter how long because he tends to have some of the most well constructed arguments in the entire forum.
Seriously, how do you justify your responses if you can't claim to have read the whole post you are responding to? This is the exact same problem holmes and I were having with Faith in the other thread. She refused to acknowledge the entire content of our posts and therefore was reduced to a completely transparent ignorant position.
I also enjoy many of your posts. You also often have posts of very high quality. I just can't believe you would say something like the quoted above. How you do expect your fellow forum members to take you seriously after saying something like that?
No smoking signs by gas stations. No religion in the public square. The government should keep us from being engulfed in flames on earth, and that is pretty much it. -- Jon Stewart, The Daily Show
