Perhaps the two or three seconds I gave it thought were entirely rational. You aren't very good at this gotcha shit are you? Nevertheless, my skepticism probably isn't entirely rational 100% of the time. You ever meet an entirely rational person? I'm okay with that. If there's some specific thing that I leverage a hefty amount of skepticism towards that needs to be readdressed that could always be arranged (do you have any suggestions?), but I'd be willing to wager we won't make it passed the first step in the process.
Again with the ad hominems? I thought you were sick and tired of me trolling you, so why are you making personal attacks again?
Do you really want this to start again?
Let go of your vendetta against me and show some ability to discourse with the issues.
PS- If you did have good solid reasons for your use of skepticism, I think I would have seen it. You've been cagey which I think means you don't really have any properly rational foundation for them.
Which isn't a personal insult. Being irrational, like you said, isn't always a bad thing. It's human.
