Woah...calm down. That's what I meant. I was just saying how it wasn't me who needed to bring the discussion back, it was you since I'd left the last post and you had yet to reply to it for the reasons you gave.

You can use strawmen without intending to, which is the point I was trying to make. By it becoming an issue of semantics, we were both inadvertently using strawmen (i.e. rebutting a point by using a definition that wasn't being used by the person who made the point).
Quote:We're done as long as you agree WE are done (which was precisely the point at which I believed we were whenever I posted about it to you before).
Ok, so I agree that we're done. I don't like getting into semantic debates because people understand words differently, and often you end up arguing over the word even though you would both agree with the concept.
