I wasn't debating anything. I was clarifying my point of view. If you can't see the difference between those two things, I can't help you.
Fact is, on several occasions I explicitly said that I could be wrong, and acknowledged viewpoints alternate to my own, and didn't say that any of them were wrong. I simply said I prefer to view the world a certain way and tried explaining why.

I already defined that. And I find it pragmatic (probably should have used that word instead of practical throughout my posts) to live as if objective reality if perceptible to humans.

Pluralization's a bitch, ain't it?
First, by "such debates," I wasn't referring to all philosophical debate, rather debates about objectivity. To put it simply (maybe overly so, but it'll suffice): I have no interest at all in debating intersubjectivity vs. objectivity. You're the one that made a leap from that to telling me that I am "not interested in debates."
But for the sake of conversation here, even if I did say that I wasn't interested in all philosophical debates, that still wouldn't apply to this thread. The OT was not a philosophical debate, and my original response to it wasn't either. Why you're trying to drag me into one right now, I've no idea.
