The only rude thing I did was make a general vulgar insult in response to a dismissive non sequitur meme. Otherwise I agree with you that my quotes speak for themselves.
Then I apologize. You said you preferred to discuss the topic within the thread. I acknowledged and expressly said I respected that preference. Instead, I asked you to pick which of the 5W you wished to refute. I mistakenly believed that since you started this thread you would give it priority. When I noticed that you remained active on other threads, I interpreted that as disinterest in following up on the boast of the OP. I was wrong to come to that conclusion. You have every right to pick your battles.
But it is not true that I chastised you unjustly for taking time off. I invite you to look back at the part of my quote that you placed in bold. That sentence begins with the phrase, "As for now..." That phrase acknowledges that you declined for the time being.

I'll be back to read the replies here in a while and reply to people … I said I'm taking a break, as above. But as you're so incredibly rude, I've lost all interest in interacting with you…I didn't decline the debate, I said I'd consider it. Christ, you're rude…I told Chad I'd be back in a few days and he pretends that means I'm dodging him…. I'm not ignoring things on purpose.
