Her beliefs, as she has presented them, are so ridiculous that it's pretty much impossible to be genuinely upset by them. But it's hard to completely ignore her insulting and condescending comments.
I'm also very disappointed by her weak attempts to deflect and prevaricate. I feel her methods of discussion have been deceptive and willfully obtuse.
Trying to reframe the ongoing discussion as my failure to appreciate her genuine intent to "share her beliiefs" is entirely unimpressive.
But knock yourself out.
Actually I agree with you, her debating skills aren't that impressive, I'd have no problems admitting that. It's not a failure of you to appreciate her intent, my original message was directed at pool for genuinely not understanding what her intent was. My response to you was simply to affirm that her behavior did not contradict my description.
Lol, is it even called "debating" if I'm just answering questions with straight forward, short replies, and not actually trying to change anyone's mind?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
