Motivation is an interesting word to use; particularly when combined with the word dishonest. I personally want to see how high you'll build this sand castle before it toples over. So you have my permission to continue.

Motivation is interesting, isn’t it? It’s also relevant in discussions like these. And every time you ignore the questions I’ve asked you above, you are tacitly admitting your dishonesty.  Also, I don’t need your permission to continue; this is an open, public forum, and I’ll be happy to continue just as soon as we can get past the first waypoint of you honestly answering the questions I’ve asked you. 

Yup, one interesting thing about motivation is that it generally has no effect on the truth of a proposition. If I say cats can fly, that statement is false regardless if my motivation for saying it comes from greed, money, revenge, sex, entertainment, religion, and the list goes on. And if the statement is true, then it will likewise be true regardless of me being classified as an honest or dishonest person.
